Match Report v Bishops Stortford (h) Lost 12-26
Brentwood U14s 12 Bishop Stortford U14s 26
Report by Kerry Bassenger
A bare fifteen!
With no subs, Miles normally a winger (who hasn’t played for months) at full back and the scrum half playing flanker, what could we expect? Not perhaps the catalogue of errors that featured through out the first half. Bad decisions, missing lineout ball, knock ons, constant missed tackles and where oh where were the forwards.
There was the occasional flash of good play like when Brentwood put on a good shove and held up the Bishop Stortford to prevent them scoring but then seconds later it all went to pot from the resultant 5 metre scrum and Bishop Stortford ran straight through and under the posts for their first try. No tackles!
Del at this point was puce and whilst Bishop Stortford duly converted he did the team ‘ticking off’ under the posts!
Things didn’t get any better from then on and Bishop Stortford ran through all the forwards to score their second try, which was again converted, 14-0.
At this point Billy got a bit cross and tried a bit of motivational shouting at his team mates. Funny, he sounded remarkably like Del!
Further missed tackles led to Bishop Stortford’s third try and with the conversion kicked at half time Brentwood were 21-0 down.
The second half started with the boys looking a little more lively with some good driving and pressure but unfortunately more missed tackles cost us another try, 26-0.
The boys continued to improve and started to play some proper rugby, which led to them having a try held up. They were obviously now fully awake and managed to string a whole series of passes together resulting in James Paton scoring a try which was swiftly converted by Stuart Frith, 26-7.
There were then some good runs made by Jordan Hill, linking with Sam Fry and some good drives from Brentwood put Bishop Stortford back in their own half. Brentwood’s final try came from a penalty taken in by William Bassenger and passed quickly to Luke Dennis who went over in the corner. 26-12 to Bishop Stortford.
All in all a much better second half performance and indeed, as coach Kevin said, “We won the second half.”
