Busiest weekend yet

Quite an achievement this morning - training and matches for 27 kids!

Thanks to the Dad's who helped out with Under 7s. Makes a big difference, especially with the variety of playing experiences.

Starting with the Under 7s (and a couple of new U8s):

They played really well for a first outing and were really unlucky to not win (final score was 2-2). They were:Will, Ben, Liam, Megan, Tomasz, James, Ioan, Freddie, Thomas, Iestyn, Cai, Sean, Adam, Matthew and Jake.

All apart from Matthew and Jake making their Mumbles debuts and their first ever games of rugby.

The under 8s were Rhys, Ben, Tom, Aled, Max, Tom, Thomas, Jack, Cameron, Ben, Dominic and Harry. The final score was 1-2. A controversial decision by the TMO cost them a share at the death! Excellent tagging all round, with Bont having a very fast set of players.

Ben, Jack, Harry and Cameron made their Mumbles debuts. Dominic had his first outing of the season. Ben Marsden scored the opening try on debut.

Bonymaen 0 Mumbles 12

Great start to the season with a 12 nil victory against Bonymaen.

The following boys made their Mumbles debuts:
Tom, Tom, Aled, Jake, Max, and Matthew

The players from last year were:
Rhys, Ben, Tom

Key areas:
Passing before contact
Lots of tagging

Areas to work on:
Spreading out in attack from the free pass

Bonymaen had some good players, though not their full side. The referee was excellent. The weather was Bonymaen wind and drizzle. Post match meal was beans and chips.

Hopefully a team picture will be published very soon.

Touch rugby on Wednesday at 5pm at Underhill for any of those interested.
