Conditions: wet

SUNDAY 19TH OCTOBER - Even the wet conditions couldn't dampen our U11s fighting spirit.

Despite Wellingborough arriving with double our numbers, our lads proved once again that teamwork, talent, and team spirit can outshine any size advantage.

From the first whistle to the last, every single player gave it their all and showed what BBOB rugby is all about.

Wellingborough brought a strong, physical side who played with real determination and structure. They tested us across the park and kept the pressure on right until the end — exactly the kind of challenge that helps our team grow and develop. It was a brilliant contest played in the right spirit by both sides.

Dougie was sharp and alert throughout, always ready to react and support his teammates. Dylan was immense hitting rucks like never before and showing real intent in every contact. Noah led from the front, charging forward and setting the tone for the team. Kian was, as ever, a complete menace to the opposition, making life difficult for anyone who dared hold the ball too long.
Ollie, the relentless, deserves a huge honourable mention for his non-stop work rate — he simply never gave up.

Archie showed great awareness and linked up superbly with James, who was electric with ball in hand, showing real pace, confidence, and creativity in attack. The two kept the defence on their toes throughout.

Fred is really starting to show his confidence and get stuck into the thick of the action, throwing himself into tackles and rucks with real determination.

And finally, Jasper earned Player of the Match for his best-ever performance - bringing everything we see in training onto the pitch today. Fantastic to see him step up and make such a big impact!

A huge thank you to all the parents for your support on the sidelines - it really makes a difference. And a special thank you to Karlos for your hard work, and to Folly for stepping up once again to referee — much appreciated!
