Newbold U17’s  24    Stratford  U17’s  12

 

Another win for Newbold that consolidates their top three position.   With Rob Green winning ball galore on the floor, and Dave Whyment dominating in the air at lineouts, Newbold earned plenty of possession – but didn’t do enough with it.  Two run-ins from the flying Simon Webber, a superb team try scored by Jordi Bunn (from a break by the also excellent Robbie Bunn), and another from Dan O’Brien, plus a couple of conversions were Newbold’s lot – and it should have been more.  The defence has to tighten up if Newbold are going to secure a vital slot in the National RFU competition next year.
