What a great tournement, great play Ravens!

We lost our first match 4-0 to Tottonian.

Match 2 was against US Portsmouth, the team were really unlucky as we were winning 2-1 and US Portsmouth managed to score a try as the whistle went. Cristelle and William scored the 2 tries in this match.

Winchester - bit of a painful match we lost 5-0. It was a really tough game but the standard of play from both teams was excellent. We may have lost but I was really proud of the team, they really truly played their hearts out.

Our final match of the morning was against E'ham and Ringwood - I have to be honest I'm not sure of the score but we lost, Finlay and Harry managed to score a try each.

As you can imagine the team were a little down, they really really did play well, we saw some tremedous tackling and excellent communication amongst the team calling for the ball.

However they picked themselves up (mental note to myself give them an icecream before the match really did work wonders!). We played Overton in the semi-final play off wow did we play at the end of the first half - Edward, George, Finlay, Harry and Thomas had scored a try each, then Gregor and William scored in the second half. 7-5 to us!

So we got to the final! against Portsmouth where we won 3 -2! Thomas scored and Harry scored 2 tries.

What a great end to a bit of a shaky start. I have the trophy and will pop it into the club so it can go on show in the trophy case.

Well done Ravens - a big thank you to the parents for their support the team did us proud.

Many thanks to Richard and Alex for helping keep the team motivated and on the rollercoaster!
