First Game. WEYBRIDGE VANDALS 0 OLD WIMBLEDONIANS 0

The Boys played a very Strong OLD WIMBLEDONIANS, who were keen to spread the ball, around the park, but was met with spirited defending tackles, From Chris , Rowan, Isaac, RYAN. Luke, Callum, Lewis, Thomas putting in some massive, hits, Great runs made by Ryan, nearly beared fruit only to be caught, just before the line, As was Isaac, who just stepped out, albeit a bit suspect from the BATTERSEA, touch judge, Another highlight was the pin point accuracy of a cross field kick of the entire width of the pitch, to JAMES running onto it and catching a superb ball which was met on the touch line with comments of how the hell do they do that at this level. More tackles, great runs and support by all lead to a deserved draw at the end.

Guildford 5 Weybridge Vandals 10

This game proved more difficult than expected due to Guildford fielding 4 Players from BATTERSEA IRONSIDES.

The pack of LEWIS, TOBY , THOMAS LUKE, more than, matched the GUILDFORD NORMALLY STRONG FORWARDS, AND THE BACK LINE WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH WITH Isaac, opening the account with a 40 metre sprint to the whitewash.
Then Guildford broke through due a momentary lapse of concentration, and equalled the score.

Second half the boys came out fighting and took the game to Guilford with all the forwards, rucking over support play, and a cheeky blind side run from a scrum by Ryan, saw us take the lead.

AND ULTIMATELY A WELL DESERVED WIN.

Weybridge Vandals 5 Battersea Ironsides 5

THE ONLY THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS GAME WAS, it was the best game OF THE DAY, WITH TWO VERY STRONG TEAMS, we matched them in the rucks and the mauls, we matched them in backs, we stopped their normal play of spreading the ball, another set of great cross field kicks by ISAAC, nearly saw JAMES through, only to be taken out into touch, but a gap in open play saw Isaac, cut through their defence after a pass going from RYAN to CHRIS, and back to Isaac who scored after a zig zag through 4 players.

WEYBRIDGE VANDALS 5 CRANLEIGH 15

This was the final game of the day and by this time the 12 disciples were down to 9 fit players with Thomas carrying a damaged knee, to name one Ru not feeling well, CHRIS SCORING A TRY IN THIS GAME WAS THE ONLY HIGHLIGHT.

The boys were struggling to keep their shape having played 3 really hard games, and numerous players having niggling injures, couldn't keep up with Cranleigh, but having been 15 -0 at half time saw a spirited fight back in the second half, with the try by Chris making the score line a little more respectable,

The Team lost out on the try count having conceded 25 whilst scoring 20.from going on .

To summarise the TEAM PERFORMANCE , it was a very spirited display from a young team, who has only just got together and players playing in unfamiliar roles, eqiqqed themselves very well, a lot came be taken out of TODAY, WITH A LITTLE MORE WORK ON THE SCRUM AND LINEOUT, THEN WITH A LITTLE FINE TUNING REGARDING POSITIONS, for some of the players, we will soon become a team, TO GIVE ANY TEAM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY
