Dear all,
A very British morning yesterday for a fine rugby session in Hackney.
Not the most attended visit to be true, but we managed to set up a small team.
We shared a good warmup session with our Hackney hosts , followed by 2 matches.
The first match ( us vs them, with one of their player on our side) ended with a draw (more or less) .
Rufus, Oscar, Theo D and Albert displayed very strong rucks, and most of the time good tackling skills
They faced some serious oppositions, especially during mauls.
We mixed teams for the second match, which i found interesting as the kids really made the effort to pass the ball to everyone.
Special mention to Hector, who came to support the team - even though he could not really play.
Overall, great morning, with a lot of tries, almost as many as the England team a few hours later :-)
Regards
