Maidenhead RFC U10's Victorious at Brean

Maidenhead RFC U10's took a strong squad of 16 to the final festival of the season at Brean Sands. Despite the weather forecast, we kicked off the tournament in perfect rugby conditions at 10am against host club Burnham on Sea, gaining a confident opening win of 3-0.

Our second game against Olney Warriors was less confident and an under par display led to a 3-1 loss.

However, against Hinckley the boys gathered themselves to produce a 4-0 win and completed the first day with a 6-0 thrashing of Woodford Bulldogs.

Day 2 kicked off with a match against Cobham, a team we desperately wanted to beat having been defeated by them on two occasions earlier this year. The growing confidence and desire for the win saw a magnificent 3-1 win with Cobham only gaining their consolation try with the last play of the game.

The final pool game was against Old Rutlishians who we met in the Plate final last year, narrowly losing 1-0 to a very dubious penalty.

At this stage, Rutlishians were undefeated so we knew we were in for a tough game. However, a 2-0 defeat to the eventual U10 champions confirmed that we were not far off that pace.

Having won 4 out of 6 games, we finished second in the pool, qualifying for the plate final on tries scored, 17. The plate final was against Cwmbran who we knew had brought a strong team, so another tough battle was in store.

Both teams demonstrated a desire to win, but after going 2-0 up within the first 4 minutes, the Cwmbran boy's heads dropped and at that stage the game was won.

Bravely they defended a determined Maidenhead team and to their credit only succumbed twice more, although one try was disallowed. In the end, however, a comfortable 3-0 win saw Maids U10's lift the plate trophy.

Brean Squad: Alec McEwan, Anthony Brayshaw, Ben Williams, Daneal Collins, Elliot Frisby, Fraser Miller, George Hickey, Jack Peycke, James Ford, Matthew Hine, Oscar Ainscough, Philip Wells, Samuel Riches, Sean Franks, Thomas May, Tom Moreland.
