Marlborough U15s hit their stride with 65-0 win over local rivals Devizes in D&W league tie!
Marlborough recorded a smashing sixty-five points to nil win over local rivals Devizes in testing conditions. From the start, Marlborough applied pressure and moved the ball well, with teamwork and communication much improved from recent weeks. The tries were shared among seven different scorers, showing the depth and balance across the side.
Devizes battled hard throughout and made the second half a much closer contest, coming close to breaking through late on. Marlborough’s defence held firm, however, to preserve a clean sheet.
The player of the match accolade goes to Hector Brenk - well done him for his efforts!
Thanks also to the referee, whose excellent officiating helped ensure a flowing and competitive match played in great spirit.
The keen-eyed amongst you will have spotted that the website (and GMS) shows a 50–0 scoreline. Please note that the RFU's rules for Colts down to Under 14s direct that "...a game shall finish when the points difference reaches or passes 50 Points. (Regulation 15.11.3 (b))..." and that the recorded score will show only that, even though "...play is encouraged to continue."
