Cobham Festival Success for U11's

Every successful side have their eureka moment, a snapshot when they prove to themselves and the rugby world that they have what it takes to be the best. For England under Sir Clive Woodward it was in 2003, before the World Cup they were to go on to win, when they played New Zealand in Wellington and were 12-6 ahead when Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio were sent to the sin-bin.

They hung on, surviving a series of scrums on their line, showing a collective desire and strength of mind that convinced even the most hardened sceptics in the southern hemisphere that England would be the team to beat in the World Cup in Australia later that year.

On Sunday October 11th at the Cobham Surrey Festival, Teddington U11's may have had their eureka moment - Rugby is a simple sport: playing as a team and play open rugby can win games and be fun.

A beautiful day, a great festival , fantastic rugby and good burgers... and a nice trophy to finish with... pretty much sums up the day at Cobham, the players won the Trophy for biggest difference between tries scored and tries conceded.

B Pool - Won 2, Drew 1, lost 1
C Pool - Won 3, lost 1.

Some of the highlights:

• Max Jones picked a loose pass off the opposition and sprinted clear to scored great try
• Oli Worrall bossing the game from Scrum half and setting up Oli Game up for a awesome tries off the base of the scrum
• Donald MacDonald scoring after 5 phases and countless passes, concluding with a looping over the head pass from Billy to put Donald in at the corner.
• Rachel Lea tackle count was massive..

More to follow as reports come in...
