U8s - Earlsdon

Written by Martin Lloyd

On a bitterly cold, but thankfully dry day, OL’s U8s entertained visitors Earlsdon to 2 games of high quality tag rugby. In game 1 the OL’s Spitfires dominated possession which was reflected in the final score of 40-15. Some splendid passing on the run, jinky running and spirited tagging was a demonstration of good team work. This hard work was finished off with tries for Kai Bailey (4), Alex Witchell (2) and a try apiece for Benedict Lloyd and Jonas Lines. Game 2 saw the OL’s hurricanes fielding a less experienced side that emerged victorious 10-5 through a combination of solid defence, ferocious tagging and excellent support play. Tries were scored by Rory Holland and Ben McCann. Both games demonstrate a real development in the skills of the players which can only bode well for the continuing success of the squad.
