U7s @ Crewkerne 22nd November
Tor U7’s
We started with the ball and it was quickly run in the
corner by Josh, proving himself a worthy captain of the side. Crewkerne also got a quick try through Tor’s defence, splitting the team
down the middle. Tor then
had a good spell of play with Marley, Aiden and Roo all bagging themselves
try’s.
Tavian’s work from the restart meant that Tor soon got
another, although not before Crewkerne had levelled the scores with some great running of their
own.
Ronin came of the bench and passed
to Marley which led to the longest try of the game with
him running all the way back and then forward over the try line!
The score was unimportant on this occasion as all players had great fun!
U7S @ Bridgwater 15th November
Tor U7’s
Tor under 7’s had a great visit to Bridgwater, we had enough to field 2 teams with substitutes. Bridgwater gave us the ball to start off with and we quickly turned it into a spell of possession although no try until after Bridgwater had turned us over and scored one of their own! Through some superb running down the line Josh soon added another try, this led to his eventual player of the week award after more play and accurate passing. With the other game underway on a different pitch, there was great play by Mason, Bertie and Daniel. As always, there wasn’t an eye kept on the overall score with the emphasis on having fun!
U7S @ Wells 25th OCT 2015
We started with 11 players so had rotating subs for the
match with 4 on the pitch at a time.
Wells as hosts, allowed us to start the game and Tor attacked right from
the beginning with great running down the line with a try scored by Marcus with
the assist from Marley, almost from the start!
The game ebbed and flowed with Wells getting the better of Tor for a
short time and scoring two tries in quick succession, Tor hit back and with the
addition of fresh legs provided by Roo and Aiden managed to get a couple
back. Josh and Tavian came on and made
an impact with tries scored by both sides.
It was a good game finished off with handshakes all round led by Aiden.
U7S 11TH OCT 2015 Tor Vs Cheddar @ Tor
U7’S match report
Tor had a good opening game of the season against Cheddar.
Tor had enough players to field 3 teams and decided to play all three, rotating
between playing ourselves and the strong team that Cheddar put out. In the first game there was good opening play
with Cheddar scoring first, Tor hit back with some great running down the wing
to score in the corner. All too soon, it
was time to swap teams and into the second game, again Cheddar scored first, it
took a little while to overcome first game nerves but Tor were soon in the
game. The final game was played in front
of an increasing audience as other age groups finished and came to watch, the
last team reacted and played like demons!
It was a good introduction to playing for the majority and an enjoyable
morning for all.
U7s 12/04/2015-
The Tor U7s were in action today
against Chard and Crewkerne in a busy but very successful 3-way tournament
hosted by Chard RFC.
Luckily the epic weather continued to
inspire out budding players, who rose to the occasion of their last match of
the season. They came out hungry to play
their best rugby, which they did fantastically.
Split into two teams, one was ably led
by Charlie Taylor and Raffael, while the other captaincy rotated through Josh,
Hollie and Samuel who all took to the role admirably. Displaying positive leadership, the captains
rallied their teams to demonstrate that they had all learned the lessons from their coaches from
throughout the season. Their set play in the restarts, both when attacking or
defending was disciplined and impressive.
Their defensive line showed great tackling from all the players,
especially Robbie, Raffael, Finlay, Josh, Ben, little Charlie, Freddy and
Hollie, preventing the opposition from gaining any advantage and resulting in many
turn over balls through sheer pressure and forcing the opposing teams to
run out of play.
Some
great running and try scoring came
from Charlie Taylor, little Charlie, Freddy and Hollie, although many of
the players showed flare
in finding the gaps in the opposition’s defence. Some of the most
impressive teamwork was
exemplified by Samuel, Cade, Chloe and Marley who were always ready to
pass the ball, sometimes even before they were tagged which kept the
attacking pressure on the opposition. The players came off the field
tired but
with big smiles all round.
This week little Charlie came away with
the coveted Silver Boot for his teamwork, tackling and good listening to the
referees.
Overall, the season has ended on a high
with a great group of rugby players who are ready to move on to the challenges
of U8 rugby.
