Youth & Minis update!
There has been plenty to celebrate across the Rosslyn Park Youth & Minis section in the early part of this season! From the U7s enjoying their first few tournaments to the U8s going unbeaten across all three teams over the weekend just gone, it has been a positive few weeks and months for Park’s younger age groups.
U13s Enjoy Two Wins from Two
The U13s have made a winning start to the season, recording two victories from their opening fixtures against Camberley and Clifton College.
The A Team kicked things off with a hard-fought 20–15 victory over Camberley. In a competitive encounter, Park showed plenty of resilience, with some excellent cover defence and attacking quality out wide helping them secure the win. Janni was among the standout performers, scoring twice and making five line breaks, while Ewan also impressed on his debut with two try-saving tackles.
The B Team also enjoyed a positive outing against Camberley, showcasing some of the attacking combinations developed on the training pitch. Caspar and Darwin made impressive breaks, while Herbie and Eti linked up in the centres, supported by pace out wide from Henry and Zack B.
The A Team followed up their opening victory with an entertaining 40–20 win over Clifton College. After racing into a 15–0 lead, Park were pegged back as Clifton fought their way level. However, the boys dug deep and pulled clear in the second half.
A dominant scrum proved crucial, reflecting the hard work put in during training. Will Durling was named Man of the Match for his leadership in the back line, while Lucas also impressed with two tries. Congratulations to Tim and Caspar, who both earned their A Team caps!
U7s Enjoy their First Tournament of the season!
It’s also been a memorable few months for the U7s, who travelled to Teddington for their first tournament in October.
With 11 happy youngsters taking part, there were fantastic performances all round and plenty of smiles throughout the morning. Although scores weren’t officially being kept, the teams would have recorded an impressive 10 wins from 10 games!
The group were back in action at London Welsh on November 1st, enjoying another very successful outing. A big well done to all the players and thank you to the coaches and families who came along to cheer them on.
A brilliant start to the season for the U7s, with plenty more to look forward to!
U8s Go Unbeaten at Teddington
There was further success for the U8s on the weekend commending 31/10 too, who enjoyed a brilliant day at WLL at Teddington.
With three teams representing Park, all three went unbeaten throughout the day. A fantastic achievement and a result worth celebrating together. Well done to everyone involved!
U9s Enjoy a Great Day at Ealing
The U9s were also in action at Ealing, where they enjoyed a great day of rugby.
Well done to all the players who took part, and a big thank you to the coaches and supporters for their continued commitment and encouragement.
