The Referees A

Coach usually taken from one of the teams in our pool sometines they get it wrong. But as always the under 11s play on in the spirit of the game.

Yesterday we took a squad to to Banbury for their annual festival. We were in a large pool of 7 teams. The team achieved 3 wins, 2 defeats and a drawer to finish 3rd overall. The opposition and ground conditions were very tough but the players stuck to their task and came away from a few brutal contests with their heads held high. Thanks again to all the parents for their fabulous support and to the players for constantly bouncing back and putting in some good performances. We picked up a number of injuries but I'm happy to report that Garin was released from hospital last night with muscle strains to his neck and upper back. The rest of the scratches, bruises and knocks should hopefully heal by next Sunday.

Game 1/.3-1 v Buckingham

2-0 at 1/2 time scoreres Max Mcminn with a strong forwards driving try and Garin Nichols with a great individual run from the 1/2 way line.2nd 1/2. Buckingham pulled one back and Alfie Tolley placed down after again a very forward orientated try.

Game 2/0-1v Chipping Norton (see heading).

Bicester battled bravely forward giving little ground all match.

Game 3/0-1 v Banbury(same ref).

Again Bicester played strong and fair Rugby but came away on the wrong side of this rubber.

2 trys in the first half from Carl Taylor coming from a charge down which Carl grounded.and a fantastic run from 1/2 way to touchdown.

Game 5/4-0 v Widnes.

3 in the first 1/2 from Harrison Nash and Rhys Warriner with another great run from 1/2 way and Ethan Guillan from just off his own 22.

The 2nd half was finshed off by a driving Carl Talor(see photo).

In the last game Against Stranford in the vale Bicester needed a win to get the plate but could only manage a 2nd 1/2 scorcher from Daniel Walker after going 1-0 down in the first 1/2 which was delayed after a nasty incident in a maul resulting in Garin Nichols being stretchered off . 1-1

With Stanford taking the plate.

This picture was taken from the wasps website.Tom.Sting and The Guinness Premiership came along to the Festival at Chesterton on Sunday 22nd March.
Although two of the other teams expected to play did not turn up on the day, the under 11s still played a round robin event with Banbury and Tring.Unfortunately Banbury and Tring sent very strong B squads and Bicester went through the event without a win.
Bicester played extremely well and can hold their heads high with pride.

Our A string attended the Tring festival yesterday. We were put in a tough group with Tring, Cheshunt, Harpenden, Chinnor and Milton Keynes. The lads came away with 2 wins and 3 drawers, scoring 10 tries and conceding just 2. Tring won the group which left us joint runners up with Cheshunt. Both teams scored the same number of tries and conceded the same number. Although Cheshunt did lose a game, the decision as to who went through was made on the toss of a coin and we lost out unfortunately. All day the lads played really well and to come away from Tring undefeated is a great result.. Thanks to all the players for their efforts and a big thank you to our supporters.
Those who did not travel had a good workout at Chesterton ahead of the Bicester festival this weekend. Again, it was a good turn out and hopefully beneficial and enjoyable for the lads. Cheers

Yesterday our B squad traveled to Beaconsfield for their annual B festival. Bicester were in a pool with Fullerians, Marlow, Beaconsfield, Henley and A&C (still don't know who they are). Our lads came away with 1 draw and 4 wins, scoring 12 tries and conceding 2. Their attitude, commitment and quality of play was top drawer. A huge thanks from the coaches, firstly to the lads for their all round performance and secondly to the parents for their great support both on and off the pitch.
The players who did not travel, trained at Chesterton and I'm led to believe had a grueling 2 hour session. A good weekend all round!!!! Well done all.
Back to the top. Our A squad are travelling to Tring this weekend for a festival. The rest of the lads were supposed to be hosting Oxford and Abingdon. Both clubs have decided that in the absence of our A squads, they would prefer not to come. This leaves us with the opportunity to train at Chesterton with those lads not going to Tring. Could everybody please reply with availability by tomorrow (Tuesday) for us to arrange squads etc. I am aware of Daniel W, Jacob F, and Tom B not being able to play this week.
Regards
Ian
