The Marlborough Rugby Under 16s played a well-organised and strong Wimborne team at the weekend. Marlborough again had low numbers due to sickness and injury. Wimborne were very accommodating and agreed to allow the fixture to be played as a 13 vs 13 game with uncontested scrums (actually, both sides were short of front row players!)
Marlborough were well beaten in the match. We were unable to match Wimborne's strength and organisation in play. Wimborne were very strong in defence, with Marlborough only scoring once in the first half.
Final score: Marlborough Rugby Under 16s 7-57 Wimborne RFC Junior Academy Under 16s
The coaching staff and parent helpers are happy to observe that the big positive was coming away with no further injuries!
Well done all the boys; let's learn from this and go again!
