The Marlborough Rugby Under 14s welcomed a touring side from Wallingford RFC to The Common on Sunday 19 April and came away with a tremendous win!
Kicking off at midday in glorious sunshine and with the home advantage, it was a display of good-quality rugby, with forwards and backs mixing it, and with the full squad playing coherently and with purpose. A joy to watch!
Final score: Marlborough Rugby Under 14s 55-0 Wallingford RFC Under 14s
More importantly, our boys were also winners in how well they entertained our guests! The atmosphere they helped create in the Clubhouse and the pure fun and joy they bought to the Club was brilliant to see and experience. Thank you to all the players and coaches.
Perhaps this format (of a Juniors' match on a Saturday) is something could replicate next season before 1st or 2nd XV home matches...? Especially since it seemed to do the trick - our Nomads took the field in the afternoon against the Salisbury RFC 1st XV and produced one of their best performances of the season...!
