Norfolk U13 Cup Final
Holt 10 v Wymondham 61
On another wet Sunday morning and following a solid win against Diss in the semi-finals, the Wymondham team travelled north to Holt to play them in an eagerly anticipated final of the Norfolk U13 County Cup.
Holt has always been a strong opposition for Wymondham with some heavy and determined forwards so the scene was therefore set for a muddy, gritty and physical game of rugby. From the outset the Wymondham team asserted itself and dominated the game. The forwards continued their excellent run of good performance, tackling, rucking and scrummaging hard against a much heavier opposition who simply could not match their technique and etermination. Again and again, they doggedly fought to win possession of the ball which was recycled by an ever tenacious and dependable Will Findlay who quickly moved it out to the Wymondham backs.
Once in the hands of the powerful backs, Wymondham rarely lost possession of the ball. Their handling, pace and agility was truly impressive as the ball was moved out wide with overlaps created through sheer pace and by players looping one another. With an expert offload, Casey Hawes set up an outstanding try by Lewis Jennings who ran three quarters of the pitch, side-stepping frustrated Holt players to reach the try line with ease. Another try was scored by quick handling between Joe Milligan, Owen Sharpe, Dominic Smith and Daniel Wood. Indeed, this was to be the pattern for most of the game as the Wymondham forwards created the necessary platform for the backs to use the full width of the pitch, their pace and expert technique to score try after try. The Wymondham team simply outran and outplayed their opposition.
In summary, this was Wymondham at its best and a team that truly played as a team. All players gave 110% effort in difficult conditions and
against an opposition that fought valiantly throughout. With 9 tries and 8 conversions, the score line showed just how far this talented group of young rugby players has come. They are now the Norfolk County Cup champions and deservedly so – well done to all the team and their ever-committed coaches!!
