U15's @Rochford Festival


Well done to all the girls in the U15's squad who retained their hold on the Rochford Hundred Charity trophy this year.
The girls played 4 tough games and came away worthy winners.

In the first game against Aylesford B some excellent play by the forwards kept their opponents on the back foot allowing the backs to run in 6 tries, 3 of which were converted.

Tries: Alex 2, Jess, Abby 2, Lucie
Cons Lucie 3

The second game against Aylesford A proved to be a bruising encounter and although going behind to an early try from Aylesford, the girls fought back and crossed the line 3 times to ensure the 2nd victory of the day.

Tries: Alex, Layla, Ellie
Cons: Lucie 3

The 3rd Game against Hertford saw a changed side take to the field and both the backs and forwards played extremely well. The Basford girls again went behind to an early try but rallied to run in 8 tries in response

Tries: Ellie, Anna 2, Mouse, Abby 2, Alex, Yaz
Cons: Yaz 6

In the final game a draw would be suffice to retain the trophy but the girls wanting to finish on a high came up against old foes Welwyn with whom they have enjoyed many a fine battle.

For a change it did not take going behind to kick the girls into action, in fact they tore into welwyn from the off and quickly went over for the 1st of 5 tries.
Welwyn hit back with a fine effort from Courtney but on the day the Basford girls were just too strong.

Tries: Alex 2, Lucie, Abby, Anna.
Cons: yaz, Frances, Lucie

Well done to all the girls

Megan, Alex, Abby, Frances, Yasmin, Jess, Layla, Ellie, Lucie, Maddy, Alice,Mouse and Anna.
