Senior Rugby Competition

The Senior House Rugby competition started today, unfortunately only one of the two scheduled games went ahead.  Telford just managed to get a team together; however our opponents were unable to field a side which meant that we received a walkover victory.  It is good that we have started the competition with a win albeit in a disappointing fashion.  What is clear though, is we need alot more boys to step up to the mark to play, both Brunel and Darwin fielded enough players for a 12 a side match.

The fixtures are listed below, boys bring your kit it is a great laugh and plenty of people come up to watch the game.  It doesn't matter if you are a rugby player or not; quite clearly some of those on display today were not rugby players and they had a great time playing.

Telford 10-5 Darwin

Prior to the match tension was high, Telford knew that this game would be their toughest test yet.  Defeat would leave Telford with nothing to play for in their last match against Newton, victory would mean everything and set up a clinch match against Newton with a chance to snatch the year 7 tournament.

From the kick off Telford put early pressure on their opponents, forcing them to play within their own 22, after a spell of solid tackling from  the Telford boys, which the spectators have come to expect from the team the pressure told.  There was a series of good passes made to the left wing, where the ball was eventually fed to Justin, who used his exceptional gas to burn off the clutching defenders and put the first points on the board 5-0, kick missed.

The rest of the half ended in deadlock, the two sides cancelling one another out, halfway through the second half Justin again showed his pace to burn to the tryline, only to drop the ball before grounding it, chance gone.  Only minutes later George Pope set off on one of his customary electric mazey runs, to ghost past the defence for 10-0, again kick missed. 

With the clock running down the opposition were becoming desperate, it was inevitable that they would apply the pressure, Telford hung on for dear life in their own 22, making a series of last ditch tackles.  Finally the pressure told and the try was scored.  However following an unsuccessful kick, match official Mr Benwell decided it was time, loudly blowing his whistle to end the match.

What a victory 10-5 Telford, who in the process have set up a crunch match against Newton which will take center stage on the last day of the tournament.  All is to play for, come on boys one more win needed!!!!

Telford 42 - 0 Brunel

It was apparent to all that had turned out to watch the Telford vs Brunel match that Telford's reputation as a fiersome rugby side had spread, so much so that Brunel were worried and struggled to get the full complement of players to turn up to play.

The officials took the decision to let the game go forward despite Brunel being short of a player.  It took the Telford side just 6 seconds to score the opening try.  2 further tries followed before the half time whistle blew.

Brunel looked as though they progressively became more disheartened as the game went on, once again there was some fantastic running rugby on display.  The final score eventually ticked over to 42-0, despite looking strong and running out convincing winners; Telford will need to make some minor adjustments to their alignment in order to beat stronger opposition.

However on the plus side todays victory takes Telford to the top of the league position on points difference over Newton who narrowly won their game today against Darwin 19-7.

Telford 21-0 Stevenson

7 Telford got off to a very strong start today in the House Rugby competition, smashing Stevenson 21-0 in the progress.  George Pope started the scoring with a brilliant run from deep inside his own half.  There were some very strong tackles from the telford team in defence most notably from the powerful Emanuel Odia who took no mery. 

There was also some strong tackling from captain Ose, who also made his presence felt amongst the ranks of the Stevenson side.  There were alot of other very good performances too many to note in fact, I look forward to the rest of the competition and feel we have a very good chance of being in the running for winning the competition.

Below is some action from the match.
