Match Report - Broadplain u8 v Chepstow u8

Chepstow Under 8’s travelled across the bridge for the second week in succession, this time to Bristol Broadplain who struggled to get a full side last year in the bitter cold. No such problem this year with Broadplain fielding a full side on a huge pitch. With half term drawing to a close and the impending sight and sound of fireworks looming, would the 5th of November prove to be a day to remember?

Chepstow – Amelie (Capt.) Otis, Flynn, Tomas, Will D, Tomos, Will A, Henry, Kameli

Having taken a break from training this week, Chepstow were clearly chomping at the bit for their Rugby fix with Otis quickly getting on the scoresheet from the very first phase of play. Broadplain hit straight back with Chepstow attempts to tag in vain as the player squeezed through the gaps. Henry, back in the side following injury showed no signs of rustiness as he sprinted through at the restart to put Chepstow back in front. Again Broadplain hit back quickly however Kameli restored Chepstow’s lead with his debut try for the team, well done Kameli! Chepstow then really started to get in to their stride having taken possession via turnover, Tomos went on a strong run only to be tagged right at the line. A quick off load to captain Amelie and she went over for her first of the match. At the restart Chepstow went on the hunt for tags and soon took seven in succession to regain possession. Amelie didn’t hang about and ran almost the full length of the pitch for her second of the match. Otis soon added another and things were looking bleak for the hosts until they managed to get over the line once more prior to Amelie completing her hat trick on the stroke of half time.

Broadplain struck first after the restart to bring things back to 7-4. Chepstow, now with fresh legs following half time changes were soon back on the scoresheet, this time Flynn darting through for his first of the match. Broadplain struck again, this time the Chepstow defence were undone with a 360 degree spin from the opposition player. Tomas added to Chepstow’s now mounting try count before Broadplain scored another to keep it competitive. Chepstow’s fresh legs then really started to make a difference with Flynn adding two in quick succession before Kameli closed out a 12-6 victory with his second of the match.

Match 2

To their credit, Broadplain were not going down without a fight a struck first in the second game. Flynn, fresh from his first half hat trick went on the hunt again only to be denied on the line. The ball moved out quickly and Will A was the player on hand to go over for his first try for the team, well done Will! What then followed was some of the best tagging seen this season with Chepstow amassing no fewer than three seven tag turnovers in succession, Broadplain just couldn’t get through the Chepstow defensive line. Each time the ball was won back Otis got on the scoresheet for a quick fire hat trick, wonderful play all round with Tomas and Will D in particular grabbing tag after tag. At 4-1 and with no way through, Broadplain were happy to hear the half time whistle.

The second half became “tit for tat” in terms of tries with Kameli, Amelie, Henry and Flynn all adding to the total however the last try of the day was scored by Tomos, his first of the season following a powerful run in to the corner, well done Tomos! The match ending 9-6 in Chepstow’s favour.

Tries – Otis (5), Flynn (4), Amelie (4), Kameli (3), Henry (2), Tomos (1), Tomas (1), Will A (1)

A great game from Chepstow where they showed great determination in their tagging, particularly the second match. Things to work on remain the same, always room for improvement and it was clear Chepstow were at their most potent when moving the ball quickly.

  • Working to utilise the full team and get everyone involved,
  • Getting back onside when in defence,
  • Run forward and don’t loop around putting our own team offside,
  • Stay away from the touchline.
