DSRFC U14s ON THE ROAD
Withycombe 0 – 54 ~ DSRFC U14s
An early start for the boys this Remembrance Sunday, heading away to Withycombe for an 11 a.m. kick-off.
Before the rugby got underway, both teams came together to observe a minute's silence, taking a moment to remember and pay their respects.
With the morning fog eventually giving way to glorious sunshine, the boys certainly brought some of their own!
From the first whistle, DSRFC got stuck in, showing great determination, strong running, plenty of pressure at the breakdown, and some lovely passages of team rugby.
‘Joe was on fire,’bagging an impressive FIVE tries, with Jude, Archie, Sid, and Lucas also getting their names on the scoresheet! Felix was on target with his conversions, helping keep that scoreboard ticking over!
A special mention to the boys stepping outside their comfort zones this week!
Isaac swapped the wing for the second row, AP traded full-back for flanker, Joe moved from wing to full-back, and Ollie I made the jump from scrum-half to flanker.
Not always easy playing out of position, but the boys stepped up, got stuck in, and showed what being part of a team is all about.
‘Player of the Match – Isaac! A fantastic effort, especially taking on an unfamiliar role in the forwards. Well deserved!
‘Biggest Hit of the Day – Finn!’ An absolute belter, much to Lucas's shock! Safe to say that one won't be forgotten in a hurry!
A brilliant all-round team performance, with plenty of effort, support play, and commitment across the pitch. The 54–0 scoreline is something to be proud of, but just as importantly, it was great to see the boys working together, adapting, and enjoying their rugby.
Thank you to Withycombe for hosting and for a great morning of rugby.
Well done, boys! Another Sunday, another fantastic team effort!
