THIS IS A GREAT SUCCESS FOR THE AGE GROUP, JUNIORS AND OUR CLUB.
WE HAD GREAT SUPPORT IN THE BRISTOL JUNIOR COMBINATION CUP FINAL AT CLIFTON RFC THIS SUNDAY THE 15TH OF DECEMBER.
OUR CLUB CHAIRMAN PETE PHELPS AND CLUB STALWART BILLY WEARE, WERE THERE TO SHARE THE SUCCESS AND SUPPORT THE TEAM.
WELLS PUT UP A STRONG DEFENCE BUT WERE BREACHED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY THE U16's.
SOME POOR DISCIPLINE IN THE FIRST AND SECOND HALF LED TO US GOING DOWN TO 14 BUT OUR DEFENCE WAS SOLID AND WE ENSURED THAT NO POINTS WERE SCORED AGAINST US.
OUR PACK DOMINATED THE SCRUMS AND THE FINAL SCORE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER IF WE HAD PUT AWAY THE CHANCES THAT WERE CREATED BY THE FORWARDS.
THIS WAS OUR 3RD SUCCESS IN A ROW IN THIS COMPETITION AS WE ALSO WON AT U13's AND U15's.
WE HAVE A TALENTED GROUP OF PLAYERS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN WITH ME AND THE REST OF THE COACHES SINCE U7's.
ALL THE SQUAD ARE TALENTED BUT WE HAVE 10 PLAYERS IN THE COUNTY,2 IN THE SOUTH WEST SQUAD AND 4 IN THE ENGLAND EPDG.
THESE BOYS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND DEDICATED GROUP OF COACHES. PETE POLLEDRIE HAS BROUGHT HIS CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE TO THE FORWARDS AND ROB CHAMBERLAIN HAS WORKED HIS MAGIC WITH THE BACKS AND WITH HIS FITNESS AND TRAINING REGIME WHICH HAS HELPED MAKE THE SQUAD WHAT IT IS TODAY. ROB AND PETE HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY MARK JAMES, RICH MAYES, SHAUN BROWNE AND MYSELF.
