Winning Continues

Burton U7 v Stafford

Winning continues

Prior to kickoff the weather looked pretty grim with dark skies and rain falling, but approx 1hour before the start of the match the skies cleared and it turned out to be a good day for rugby.
Stafford bought a team of 8 and looked to be well drilled and organised and it would appear Burton would be up against it.
After a quick warm up organised by the coaches, there were plenty of volunteers to be on the starting team 8 for Burton and there was a willingness to get the match started.

Match 1
This match started at a quick tempo with Burton scoring two quick tries before Stafford could reply with one of their own, Burton again scored a brace before Stafford replied to leave it 4-2 at half time. The second half was closer with both sides trading tries to leave the final score 
Burton Win 7-4

Scorers: Alex Garrett 3, Anthony Bryan, Billy Montgomery, Bruce Drinkwater, Archie Fotheringham

Match 2
This match was again closely contested but the stronger running and support play of Burton proved to be the deciding factor and there was some good running tries. At half time during this match Coach Ed was concerned as to the Burton defence and so gave some coaching tips to motivate the team, this seemed to work and Burton ran out winners.
Burton win 8-6

Scorers: Alex Garrett 2, Ethan Pepperell 2, Mitchell Walkman, Daniel Smith, Anthony Bryan, Bruce Drinkwater 

Match 3
With the fixture won Burton may have taken their foot off the gas as they traded tries with Stafford and were winning the match 6-5 with only 5 seconds of the match left, but allowed Stafford to continue the play and go over for a try to draw this match 
Burton draw 6-6

Scorers: Alex Garrett 4, Archie Fotheringham, Billy Montgomery 

Team: Ben Smith, Alex Garrett, Evie Leavsley-Richards, Mitchell Walkman, Huw Lauben Anthony Bryan, Micheal Feenan, Daniel Smith, Archie Fotheringham, Bruce Drinkwater, Billy Montgomery, Billy Forester, Ethan Pepperell
