U8's v Whitchurch

There were 2 games this week for the boys and the weather was much kinder for us.  A great turn out for the team with 15 boys in attendance.

Oakdale Vs Whitchurch

 

1st half

Oakdale won the toss and were keen to get started.  Lewys Robinson Blanch started the game with a great pass to Codie Brookes, Codie made a great run passing back to Lewys Robinson Blanche who dodged a number of Whitchurch players to run straight over the try line – first try of the game!

Whitchurch ball and the boys were tagging well with tags from William Hilditch, Codie Brooks, Oliver Tucker and Ben Thomas.  Unfortunately Oakdale were offside so Whitchurch were back to 6 tags.  They made a good run from the restart and were over the line for a try.

Oakdale’s ball and Oliver Gambold starting this time.  A pass to Codie Brooks, through to Lewys Robinson Blanche, a quick pass to Ben Thomas, gaining ground all the time, with a final pass to Oliver Gambold who ducked and weaved to go over the try line!

Whitchurch ball again but quickly lost due to a knock on. Codie Brooks restarted the game with a long pass to Lewys Robinson-Blanche who was quick to pass to Oliver Tucker.  Oliver made a cracking run across the field and secured the third try for the team!

Whitchurch returned with force with their ball and ran hard through the players.  Some great tagging from Lewys Robinson-Blanche, Oliver Tucker, Codie Brooks and Rhydian Scott stalled the players but they pushed through to go over the line and score a try.

Oliver Gambold starting off with the next Oakdale ball and with a pass to William Hilditch who was denied a try being tagged just on the try line.  Good passing from William to Oliver Tucker, then to Lewys Blanche Robinson.  A small scuffle however resulted in loose ball and a turn over by Whitchurch.  Tagging from Oliver Tucker and Oliver Gambold could not stop the strong runs from Whitchurch and a try was conceded.

Oakdale ball and strong passing from Oliver Tucker to Ben Thomas resulted in a speedy run from Ben right across the field to go straight over the try line.  A knock on with Whitchurch’s ball meant Oakdale were quick off the mark and with great passing from Codie Brooks to Ben Thomas to Oliver Gambold and a final pass to Ben allowed him to make a run across the whole pitch to go over the line for his second try.

2nd half

A change of players for this half but the same level of enthusiasm and commitment from the team.

Whitchurch started this half and were extremely quick off the mark, strong tagging from Codie Brooks slowed them down but they pushed over the line to score a try.  Oakdale ball this time with Kodi McKenzie starting off.  A strong pass to Tal Watkins allowed Tal to make a full run of the pitch to score his first try.

Whitchurch ball again and they were put through their paces with tags from Ethan Patterson, Tal Watkins, Daniel Uppington and Deacon Rhead.  Whitchurch tags were reinstated however due to Oakdale offside.  Further tagging from Ethan Patterson and Scott Thomas delayed Whitchurch but did not stop them from going over the line – try for Whitchurch.

Again our tag team Kodi McKenzie and Tal Watkins worked really well together passing to set up Tal’s next try for Oakdale, another long run down the field to go over the line.

Whitchurch were rattled by the strong play and a forward pass resulted in the ball back to Oakdale.  Kodi McKenzie started again with a superb pass to Ethan Patterson.  Ethan then stormed down the field to score his second try.

Whitchurch wasted no time in retaliating and made a long run down the length of field to score.  Next Oakdale ball was from Daniel Uppington who passed to Deacon Rhead. Deacon weaved through a number of Whitchurch players to go straight over the line – Oakdale try!

Whitchurch ball was again quickly lost for being out of touch after a great tag from Kodi McKenzie.  Whitchurch ball allowed Daniel Uppington to set up a final try for Ethan Patterson in the last play of the game.
