4th April 2004
Stanford Minis went on tour to Hastings last weekend, and displayed some good passing and tackling skills against their hosts. The under 8’s lost a very close encounter 40-35, after leading for most of the match. Scorers were James Kitchen 2, Dan O’Flaherty 2, Sean Bunney, Jacob Dennis and George Taylor.
They then joined their under 9 colleagues for a training match against Hastings under 9’s. This proved to be a very close match, and the sides were only separated by one try, Hastings winning 5 points to 0. The younger players really relished the opportunity to try out their contact skills, in readiness for next season.
There was then a return match between Stanford and Hastings at under 8 level. Stanford performed better in this game, and ran out 25-15 winners, to gain revenge for their earlier defeat. Scorers were George Taylor 2, Ryan Quinn, James Kitchen and Dan O’Flaherty. Congratulations also go to Connor Lalieu, James Wade and Dominic McDonald for fine defensive displays.
In an excellent team performance against hosts Hastings, the under 12’s won by 45-10. Scorers were Jack Payne 4, Jordan Harper 2, Ben Street 2 and Emily Scott. There were outstanding individual performances by Jack Payne and Emily Scott against a strong Hastings outfit.
Stanford Minis need new players between the ages of 5 and 13. Anyone interested, turn up for training at 10 am on Sundays.
Next fixture is at home against Ilford on Sunday 18th April.
