Season 2009/2010 

Sunday 24th January 2010 - Home - Friendly - Horsham `B`

Crowborough U14’s v Horsham U14’s `B` 

Playing in fine conditions and a rare bit of sun at times, the weather belied the fact that this was first time that many of the players has picked up an oval ball since before Christmas. Despite this and the fact that some were playing in unfamiliar conditions, the small squad set themselves the goal of playing passionate and aggressive rugby from the first blow of the whistle. 

Horsham scored all too quickly when a hard fought defence was finally breached, the ball spinning out wide for a try. Nevertheless, this was something new for Crowborough who for the first time this season seemed to have found an appetite for defence, with tackle after tackle coming in. At the scrum, Horsham initially seemed to have the advantage but as the first half progressed things evened up a little as the Crowborough tight five found their footing. Wave after wave of Horsham attacks were snuffed out by stout-hearted aggressive defence, although the visitors soon exposed and exploited a Crowborough weakness, not scrapping for the ball on the floor. This resulted in Horsham getting plenty of ball which they used to great effect, crossing the try line a number of times. The second half continued in much the same vein, although the Crows game was disrupted by the loss of scrum half Lawrence Berry. 

 It was pleasing to note the spirit with which Crowborough played this game. There was new-found determination and passion for the duration of the game and whilst there was a certain amount of ring rust to shake off, there were many, many positive green shoots that can be nurtured for the rest of the season. There were many who showed individual flashes of brilliance. George Bigwood tackled like a demon and was calm under pressure and Ata Yazicilar made a couple of nice breaks. Jack Weedon continues to show a talent for ripping the ball of the opposition, but the coaches Man of the Match was Henry Boddy. He seemed to be everywhere at once, ball in hand charging at Horsham or ensuring that another attack was disrupted. 

Next match – home v Edenbridge on 31st January.

Sunday 22nd November 2009 - Away

Hastings 46 - Crowborough 0 (League)

Travelling to Hastings in very wet ad blustrey conditions, the under 14's played their first league match of the season. The team comprised 2 new players, Ata and George, the former having only joined us on Tuesday.
As expected , Hastings played a forwards dominated game, using their two biggest players to muscle the ball upfield at every opportunity. This tactic bore fruit for them and was responsible for at least four of their tries. Crowborough were stout hearted in the tackle, but needed to make more of them to make a difference.
From a Crowborough point of view, there were encouraging signs, especially at the scrummage, which was a more than even contest. Flanker Jack Weedon deserves special mention for harrying the opposition scrum half, causing him to make an error seemingly every time he laid hands on the ball.
Despite the conditions, the backs were confident with the ball in hand and showed the desire to play some attacking rugby. With more game time this is promising for the future. Full back George Bigwood made several good breaks and showed an excellent turn of speed and grace under pressure.
Man of the match and winner of the "Down the drink and scoff a Mars bar"competition - George Bigwood.
Next game - Edenbridge at Home, Sunday 29th November.
