Match Report : Old Leamingtonians u14 v Nuneaton u14  24/01/2010.

After a long six week lay-off for Christmas and the frozen conditions, on a bright sunny morning OLs entertained a partly developmental Nuneaton team.  A format of 3 mini games was decided upon to enable everyone in the sizeable Nuneaton squad to be involved.

The first game was quite evenly contested, as the cobwebs were blown out, but gradually OLs took control, found the weaker defences and emerged 22-7 winners. Alex, Ed Andrews, James Witham and  Amandeep scoring tries, one of which was converted by previous guest Max Jeffs who has decided to join the OLs squad.

The second game was highlighted by several storming runs from Rhys playing at centre. He scored one try and had another good break to set up Tom for another, Max Jeffs converted one to give OLs a 12-0 victory.  It was good to see some fine support play.

The third game saw Nuneaton looking tired as Alex, Joe Blake (2) and Rhys ran in tries, one of which was converted by Joe Evans to give OLs a comfortable 22-0 win. The quality of our rucking by all forwards, but especially James W, was commented upon by the Nuneaton Coach after some excellent turnovers.


Overall a good work-out played in good spirit for all the players only marred at the end by what appeared to be a painful knee twisting for one of the Nuneaton lads. They hope to return to take us on with their strongest team in the future.
