Quarter-Final success for Droitwich Juniors
Sunday, February 5, 2006
Droitwich U14's and U15's both moved into the Semi-Finals of the North Midland Youth Plate Finals on Sunday after winning their games against Old Hales and Camp Hill respectively.
Droitwich U14's secured their win over Old Hales by 22 - 5, making home advantage count in an enjoyable game. Tries were scored by Chris Rouse, Jack Sones, Oliver Bastock and Oliver Jeynes, with the one conversion coming from Alex Claytor.
The U15's came through a tough game at Camp Hill to run out 17 - 5 winners, in a bruising contest from start to finish.
Camp Hill opened the scoring in the opening minutes to take an early 5 - 0 lead, only to see Bobby Scott-Walker score a brilliant drop goal from outside the 22 moments later, which took Camp Hill by surprise and proved the turning point in the game.
From then on Droitwich grew stronger as the game progressed, taking the game to their opposition. They were rewarded when Adam Gwilliam seized on a loose ball and hacked on to score near to the posts, which gave Droitwich a narrow 10 - 5 lead at half time.
Droitwich started the second half brightly with the back line posing questions throughout, with Charles Jackson strong at the back and holding the defence together. Droitwich's second came from Calum Kinghorn who took a quick penalty and crashed over mid-way through the second half.
With Scott-Walker's two conversions Droitwich had a 17- 5 lead, but Camp Hill came back strongly looking to get back into the game. Excellent rucking and mauling from Shaun Hooper, David Edwards and Jon Dowson helped nullify the Camp Hill attack, and turn it to Droitwich's advantage by stealing any loose ball.
Dowson was named 'man of the match', although it could of easily been any one of the fifteen, who put up a spirited team performance to overcome a very good side.
Droitwich U17's must play Whitchurch in their Quarter Finals, looking to join their club mates in the next round.
