NATIONAL 7S

On saturday we competed in the national 7s at harpenden.This turned out to be a very emotional day as this was the last games at u/15s for 6 of the players.We had 2 teams in on the day. Worcester 11 with 3 letchworth girls in the squad competed in pool3 .This was a really hard pool but they competed really well against strong opposition.The girls never let there heads down, were really competitive and scored some good trys but still lost all there 3 pool games. In the plate quarter final against H3 they conceeded an early try and then had at least 4 chances to score which were only stopped by last ditch tackles. The second half was more of the same but the opposition scored a breakaway try and worcester lost 10-0.

Worcester 1 competed in pool 1. They won all there pool games .In the cup quarter final they met burfield but were playing some great 7s rugby and won convincingly 27-10. In the semi final they met Ellingham and conceeded an early try but stuck to the game plan and ran out winners 28-5. Now in the final they met Welwyn. The girls new this would not be easy as welwyn are a very good team. The final turned out to be very tense affair with chances for both teams to score. Liv scored a try in the first half for a half time lead of 5-0. The second half welwyn put a lot of pressure on the worcester line but the girls held out and won 5-0.This sparked jubilant celebrations at the final whistle not only from the worcester girls and supporters but from the paviors girls who supported us in the final.

The 7s was a very long and hot day. Some of the girls suffered with the heat and injurys. Hopefully you are all right and feeling better soon. The day seemed to get hotter and hotter especially in the late afternoon. A big thankyou to adie who was kept busy for most of the day looking after these girls and all the parents who helped on the day as well.

This was the first time that the u/15s have won a national trophy but i am sure it will not be the last.

This was a great way to end a very successful season. This win was for all the worcester u/15s and not just those who played in the final.With what we viewed from both teams on the day we will have a strong squad for next season.Thanks to the 3 letchworth girls who helped us out on the day. As previously mentioned this was the last games at u/15s for LIBBY / ZETA / ZOE / IZZY M / MONKEY / JAZZ and KATE who could not take part today through injury. We wish them well in the future .This was also the last day for TRICIA as manager for the u/15s who has been brilliant all season.
