We came back undefeated with the U9s cup proudly in our grasp. Here's how...

Game 1. Old Reigations
They were good last year and gave us a tough start. We ended the half up 2-0 through Conrad and Harry. The need to pass wider, clear. Our next was Connor's after the magical 2 passes in attack. Conrad added his second, our 4th, to win 4-2.

Game 2. Harlequins
This was an easy win. The oppo's weakness in defence allowed us to run amok. We won 8-0. Tries from: Max (2), Monty after a darting run, Luke, Harry after a sprint down the line, Ben running through three defenders and Conrad with 2 - one a pitch-length sprint, the other down the blind side.

Game 3. King's
A huge difference in the teams. We won 12-1. Tries from: Oscar - hat trick (he still owes us the beers), Connor x3 (one an interception), Monty x2, Luke x2, Conrad and Harry.

Winning our first three games we topped the group and progressed to the cup final.

Cup final match 1. Much-fancied Brighton were up next. It was an attritional game. Brighton channeled route 1, some fancy set pieces and slowing the play down. We won 3-1. Max x2, Seb x1. Strong determination from the boys.

Match 2. Local derby v Warriors. In which we won 5-1. Connor bagged 2. Monty, Max, Luke one each.

Tremendous tackling was the difference and why we prevailed. Everyone contributed. Luca, Seb and Max notable contributors.

Rugby the ultimate winner. It was a pleasure to witness today's performance.

32 tries for, 5 conceded.
