Divisonal 10s results

Well done for the good result on Sunday. Sorry I wasn't there as it sounded like another excellent squad performance. Unfortunately I won't be there for the finals either as I'm off at Super League again.

The final scores were:

Worcester 37 - 5 Comets
Worcester 19 - 0 Melbourne
Worcester 38 - 5 Newbold/Tamworth
Worcester 31 - 14 Kettering
Worcester 17- 0 Letchworth

The finalists at Lichfield on 4 May are Reading, Wimbourne, Letchworth, Darlington Mowden Park, Tynedale and us. All old opposition with the possible exception of Reading who I don't think we've played.

Match report v welwyn/basford

On sunday the u/18 girls played welwyn/basford in the final of the u/18 national cup at Lichfield rfc. The match turned out to be cliff hanger in the end. Worcester opened the scoring early on with a try by Bean but the opposition soon scored to make it 5-5. No quarter was being given by both sides but a try by Lydia before half time made it 10-5 to worcester at the break. The break seemed to suite welwyn/ basford the best and they came out very strong in the second half to soon score to make it 10-10. Welwyn/basford were still pushing worcester very hard and scored a try with about 10 minutes to go to make it 15-10 . This seemed to be the wake up call that worcester needed and started to push the opposition hard and eventually with 3 minutes left Asskiss scored under the posts which was converted by bean to make it 17-15 to worcester which turned out to be the final score. Credit must go to the players of both teams who played an excellent high standard of rugby which was played in good spirit to make it a very close final .
