Grasshoppers 'B' Festival - 4/11/07



WINNERS

A wonderful performance by all the boys with great passing and solid tackling. Overall we scored 24 tries with only 4 scored against.

The backs (David Cecil, James Davies, Alex Anderson, Jonathan Hammond and Greiogair Hogg) displayed a fluid passing game giving our speedy wingers (Josh Day and Aaron Patel) the ability to show their pace, often to devastating effect.

The forwards (Stephen Rac, James Bentley-Fox, Thomas Bywater and Myles Dean) were impressively physical, especially in the semi final game against Finchley which was probably our toughest.

The final was the usual tense affair with Grasshopper’s fast runners having to be constantly repelled. At the prize giving, Teddington’s “boys and girls” were congratulated on their victory! Josh Day, with his long flowing locks, went forward to receive the trophy and the announcer corrected his earlier mistake.

Pool game. Grasshoppers Barbarians. Won 6-0 (try count stopped at this point)
Pool game. Ealing. Won 5-1
Pool game. Farnham Won 4-0
Semi final. Finchley. Won 2-1
Final. Grasshoppers Won 5-2

Brilliant performance - even if I make the total count 22 tries and not 24.
