From the coach:
The Marlborough Under 14s welcomed opponents from Salisbury RFC to The Common at lunchtime on a wet Sunday, 19 October...
It was quite apparent, right from the kick-off, that both teams had 'come to play rugby' and it was an intense start to the match. The spectators were treated to a compelling display of top-quality Junior rugby!
Having only fifteen players available, the Under 14s were always going to under pressure, but their attitude and commitment to the game meant that the boys were not daunted, racing into the lead and maintaining it through to half-time. But fatigue crept in and, with Salisbury able to make multiple substitutions, it started to look a little shaky...
However, the boys dug-in and put in several sustained periods of really impressive defence, including on our own 5-metre line and right up to the end of the game. Thanks to their team spirit and hard work, we maintained the lead and went on to win, and win well!
Final score: Marlborough 35-29 Salisbury
