Maidenhead
U12s – 5, Windsor U12s – 0
Windsor, as expected, presented stiff competitive but despite this,
a very confident display of good rugby and unselfish play allowed
our boys to dominate the game. Only twice did the opposition enter
our half with their kicks being secured and run back by full back,
Lawrence Hull. Our forwards, especially, Richard Derry and Tom Judd,
displayed great strength and determination in the rucks and mauls,
winning numerous balls that were cleanly passed out into space, with
one being caught by Oli Malik who made a strong run from 10 yards
out to score the only try of the game.
Maidenhead
U12s – 0, Beaconsfield – 10
Despite another good team effort, Maids conceded two early tries to
a Beaconsfield mixed As and Bs team but the boys rallied and gave
the competition a fine display of good rugby. Jack Harris-Holborn
anticipating a run by Beaconsfield and positioned himself for a spectacular
try saving tackle 10 yards from the line and the forwards, inspired
by Jack Nicholls's determination and intelligent pay, drove to gain
much territory as well as turning over the ball several times.
Maidenhead
U12s - 5, Henley - 0
Maids continued in full strength in this match with dominance against
another local and strong rival. Good defensive play from Maids, and
great driving from Robert Thirtle, kept the pressure on and from Maids'
own half, Ben Gordon snatched the ball and ran almost the entire length
of the pitch to score Maids' try. Maids won the game with overall
team effort and strong communication, with some effective passing,
particularly from Sam Hoxley, and tackling with scrum-half James Millwater
demonstrating his skills in this area.
Maidenhead
U12s - 5, Richmond - 15
Probably Maids' toughest match in the festival against a very strong
Richmond who scored their first try within 5 minutes of the match
starting. Despite 2 further tries from Richmond, Maids kept the pressure
on with good all round tackling and defence allowing Khalid Omar to
make the break and score Maids' only try.
Maidenhead
U12s - 5, Fullerians - 0
In their final match, Maids faced Fullerians. Tom Judd and Ben Gordon
shone in this match with strong passing and possession of the ball.
Scrum-half James Millwater once again proved defensive and Maids were
rewarded with the team effort with the only try of the match, delivered
by Khalid Omar.
