U9 Rugby v St. Olaves

Written by  Stuart Smythe
On Tuesday the Under 9's made the short trip down to the City of York to face St. Olaves. It quickly became apparent that we were up against a much stronger team. On a wide pitch St. Olaves ran in 6 tries without reply in the first half. The second half was a closer affair with the opposition adding five more tries to their tally. In reply George crossed for a brace to get Terrington on the scoreboard by the final whistle. Although the game was dominated by the opposition, several strong runs were made by Harry, George and Nat as well as a number of gutsy tackling attempts in defence from the whole team.

In sport, you sometimes come up against a better team. Today was one of the days. However despite the score line, I was extremely happy with the manner in which the team played and conducted themselves. Throughout the game our effort levels never dropped, heads remained high and we continued to get stuck in, especially in the contact area. In some ways seeing the team react in this way was more satisfying than some of our wins. The determination and dedication exhibited in a tough game by the team was impressive. Sometimes you learn more about a team in defeat and after today's match I was reassured with what I saw; a promising sign for the team's development in future years.
