Droitwich U7’s win away at Tamworth

Sunday 30th March 2008

Droitwich Under 7’s returned to action after the Easter break with an away trip to Tamworth, coming out on top over the 4 games played.

This was a great effort from a heavily depleted squad with only 9 boys making the trip due to holidays and other commitments.

The first game was a 7 - 7 draw on a pitch far smaller than we are used to.  Having adjusted to the pitch, Droitwich then won the second game 7 - 3.
A few handling errors led to a 5- 3 defeat in the third match, but Droitwich recovered their composure to emerge as 5 - 4 victors in a tight final match.

The top try scorers were Joseph Neale and Ben Lee with 5 each, followed by Harry Alldritt 4,  Joe Corlett 3, James Webster and Ben Keepax scored 2 each whilst Nathan Joss crossed the line once.

Jules Gwinnutt and Alex Uner also played vital roles in a good overall performance in the welcome spring sunshine.
