| On the
day of the London Marathon, Maidenhead Under 10s'
faced their own marathon as they
travelled to Bristol to face West Country opposition at
the annual Cleve Rugby
Tournament. A league of six formidable teams provided a spectators dream of a fiercely contested open competition that upheld the highest standards of the game. Maidenhead, with only nine players started the day with a close run victory over Llandaff before succumbing to a narrow defeat by Cleve, the eventual cup winners. A very close game against Hucclecote followed, which gave Maids victory after holding onto a narrow half-time 10-5 lead. The final two games against Clifton and Newport were both draws that showed the full potential of this young side. Open running play by committed but tired players received favourable comments from the many spectators. Overall, a good venture for the Under 10s who were placed third overall but were justly rewarded by receiving the coveted fair play trophy. Tries by: Pegg(2), Boyd(2), Cadden (1), Johnson (1), Alderson (1). |
