U11As dominate a weak tackling Ruislip team
Maids AS 40 - Ruislip As 5
In wet and blustery conditions, Maids U11s got back to winning ways with a try-fest in a potentially difficult away fixture at Ruislip. Started in the first half with some strong surging runs from Dan Cutler at fly-half; he set up a number of tries for both the forwards and the backs. Scott Prince scored 4 from a new position on the wing, Umar Marriott showed excellent strength at prop to drive over for another couple, Joel Greene scored from the half way line having made a good tackle and ripped the ball free. Dan also scored one himself after a strong run from the back of a ruck. Other good performances came from James Millwater in at scrum-half, Will Lawrence in the unfamiliar position of full-back and Shane McKenna at second row.

U11Bs showing great spirit to come through a tough game
U11Bs 20 - Ruislip Bs 5
A tough fought battle, with some great experience gained by several newcomers, who showed good skills. Up against a very physical Ruislip side, the B's showed great character to keep going when things got a bit rough. In the first half Conor Dunne burst through from a maul to score his first try for Maidenhead. Ruislip replied soon after, but then maids pushed in to lead again following a strong drive from Jack Nicholls, with Tom Kynaston getting the score. Ruislip evening the score again and it looked like the game was delicately poised until a couple of tries in a couple of minutes secured the win for Maids. Firstly Alistair Graham finished off a strong drive with hard fought try. Then Sam Hoxley caught the re-start, kicked it back up field and the perfect weight allowed Tom Kynaston to run through and score his second.
