Maids U14B opened brightly against a large Tadley U14A side with a swift try in the first 5 minutes, winger Elliot Rakkar-Thomas driving over in the left corner. Number eight CJ Nicholl tried the same route but unfortunately trailed a boot over the touch line for would otherwise been a spectacular team try. Undeterred, Nicholl followed right winger Fraser Basford into the line, received an offload and was able to step over the Tadley line for a second try. Tadley responded, lifting their game with their forwards sweeping away tackles and providing a breakout opportunity for their first try. Maidenhead unused to being in their own half, reacted slowly to an up and under by Tadley, allowing Tadley to get up fast and in numbers. Under pressure, ball handling errors were made and Maids found themselves unable to defend against a Tadley advancing at speed, Maids conceded another try. The score at half time was 12-10 Tadley began the second half with their third try and conversion. Maids, tiring under the Tadley forwards pressure, shipped the ball wide to winger Rakkar-Thomas who danced across the line. Patrick Bart converted and the score stood 17-19 with five minutes to go. Tadley immediately responded with their big forwards continuing to run until the end of the game, creating space despite some very brave and increasingly frantic tackling deep in Maids' half. Tadley backs eventually seized the opportunity and raised the score to 26-17. Maids camped in the Tadley half for the final minute but despite a territory advantage dropped the ball too many times and gave away too many knock ons, indicating that players had given their full effort, The final score was Maidenhead B 17 points, Tadley 26. Maidenhead Bs were: Harry Kealey, Max Barnes, Jordan Flynn, Johnson Majonie, Peter Watt, Michael McPherson, Micheal White, Charlie Thomas, Ternase, Patrick Bart, Simon Graham, Chris Hudson ( C ), Fraser Basford, Elliot Rakkar-Thomas, Ben Rakkar-Thomas , CJ Nicholl, Elliot BahraMorgan |
