U18s National 7s
Although at the end of a long season Basford U18s once again excelled themselves, coming top of their pool and proceeding into the quarter finals where they were drawn against Letchworth whom they despatched with relative ease 27 points to 7. Despite having accumulated injuries along the way they started their semi final against Wimborne with the usual grit and determination and having gone behind, came back at the death to equalise with a try at the final whistle. Unfortunately under competition rules first team to score would go through to the final, and with Basford losing captain Natalie McClarnon and Cherelle Alphonse to injuries even they couldn't continue to play on with, it became one step too far for a team that had given their all. Wimborne taking the advantage to score a break away try to proceed to the final.
This was the last game for Basford U18s Natalie McClarnon, Sarah Carman, Cherelle Alphonse and Charlotte Micallef, and they, along with Sophie Russell who was not available for the 7s will be sorely missed.
It has been a pleasure to work with you ladies, I am very proud of your achievements and wish you every success in the future!!

End of a very long season
Well thats it for another season, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all those girls and parents who along with the coaching and management staff have covered endless miles each week to play games.
Both age groups have done exceptionally well this season, with both sides bringing trophies back to the club.
The U15's retained their Rochford Charity 10's title for the 2nd year and the U18's also retained the Rochford 10's and added the Worthing 10's and Herts 7's to their tally.
the U18's were also involved in the National Cup where they buddied up with Welwyn and narrowly lost to Worcester in an enthralling final at Litchfield.
The start of the season saw new faces join the club at both age groups,and those girls have settled in really well and were a major part of this seasons successes.
Many of the girls were involved in both County and Regional rugby this season with the Essex U18's retaining their County Festival trophy and the U15's narrowly losing out to old rivals Herts in their final. At Regional level, both Regional sides were unlucky coming within a whisker away of a place in the Regional Festival finals.
We saw 4 of our U18 girls take part in the Junior Super League ( Emily, Natalie, Sarah C and Sophie)
while 4 of our U15 girls were selected to go to the School of Rugby in Herts (Yasmin, Lucie, Jess W and Megan)
2 girls were selected for the Eastern Counties school of rugby (Jess Harris and Alex Grant)
Well done to all those girls.
Sadly we have to say goodbye to those girls who are moving up to Senior rugby next season
Natalie, Sophie, Sarah C, Charlie, Cherelle.
Good luck girls you will be missed!
We also had a very good and entertaining tour up north at Easter. We were on the recieving end of some great hospitality from Mandy and all the people at Malton & Norton RFC and would like to say a big thank you from all at Basford.
A big thanks to all those clubs that we have played over the course of the season, I know the girls have made some great friends over this past year.
Lastly but not least a big thanks to all the management and Coaching staff for the endless hrs put in to make this club the success it is.
Thanks to you all

U18's Storm Herts 7's
Building on their success from the Worthing 10's the mighty Basford U18s stormed to another win at the Hertfordshire 7s on sunday.
The team played their first game against Wisbech and won 27-10 with scores from Dannie Harris, Kez Hopkins, Cherelle Alphonse and Rachel French.
The second pool game was against Herts Swifts (Old Albanians and Stevenage) and the team won convincingly 58-0(Cherelle 1, Sam Smith 1,Kez 2,Dannie 3,Frenchie 2,Jemma Sommers 1)Special mention needs to go to Jemma as it was her first ever try at senior rugby.
The team then had their last pool game with a winner takes all against Reading. After going behind early they drew 12-12 and went through to the semi final on points difference.
The Semi final was against a well drilled Bucks Jesters side, however they won 30-0with tries from Dannie 2,Kez 2,Casey Shults 1, Frenchie 1.
That set up a final against Letchworth against whom Basford lost in 7slast year.
The team didn't need much motivating and won 48-5 totally obliterating their opponents, with everybody finding that extra bit of effort especially Charlie Micallef and Alphonse. Anytime the opposition got the ball they were all over them.
Usual suspects with trys, Dannie, Kez, Cherelle, Rachel plus 1 for Siobhan Franklin.
A great team effort overall, especially the workrate of Natasha Barbank & Siobhan Franklin.
Additional congratulations to the 4 Basford girls, Emily Scott, Sarah Carmen, Natalie McClarnon and Sophie Russell who took part this weekend at the Inaugural England U18 Junior Super league game. This is a new completion where 32 of the top elite girls in England are invited to receive top England coaching and participate in a Red vs Blues match over the weekend at the England Elite training camp in Oxfordshire. All 4 girls played exceptionally well with some encouraging feedback from the coaching staff for future participation at both senior and U18 levels.
