Droitwich Under 7’s win Stratford Tournament

Sunday, 27th April, 2008

Well done to our magnificent squad of ten--Will Bishop, Adam Shaw, Joseph Neale, Aran Foster, James Webster, William Blackledge, Jakob Terry, Ben Lee, Harry Alldritt and Joe Corlett--who emerged victorious from the Stratford Tournament on 27th April.

The boys played “out of their skins” to achieve a well deserved victory – they were a credit to themselves, their parents and the club as a whole. It was a great team effort from all ten players who can feel very proud of their performances in Stratford. Tagging was absolutely superb and the cornerstone to our victory, with the number of tries scored also proving to be crucial.

Our results in Group 2 were as follows:

vs. Daventry: Won 7 – 5

Try scorers: Aran Foster 2, Adam Shaw 2, Will Bishop 1, Joseph Neale 1, Joe Corlett 1.

Special mention for William Blackledge who played for Daventry when they were a player short, and even scored a try for them as well!

vs Bromsgrove ‘A’: Won 7 – 5

Try Scorers: Joseph Neale 2, Adam Shaw 1, Aran Foster 1, James Webster 1, Jakob Terry 1, Ben Lee 1.

vs. Cheltenham ‘B’: Won 6 – 2

Try scorers: Joseph Neale 2, Will Bishop 2, Joe Corlett 1, James Webster 1.

vs. Stratford Lions: Won 4 – 1
Try Scorers: Adam Shaw 2, James Webster 1, Joseph Neale 1.

We therefore went through as Group Winners to the Semi-final.

vs Bromsgrove ‘B’: Won 5 -1
Try Scorers: Adam Shaw 4, Ben Lee 1.

Final vs. Cheltenham ‘A’: Drew 4 – 4
Try Scorers: Ben Lee 2, Adam Shaw 1, Joseph Neale 1.

After an anxious wait we were told that we were to be crowned Tournament Winners based on tries scored throughout the whole event. We had scored 33 compared to Cheltenham’s 29 and wild celebrations resulted from a jubilant group of players and parents.
