TEAM TUESDAY – UNDER 10s
At U10 level, the season highlights were the fine performance at the Buckingham Festival, and good matches against various local teams by a group of youngsters who always display the RFU Core Values wherever they play. One of our players has written the following poem about the season just gone…
Under ten,
Rugby again!
Pitches hard,
Then suddenly soft,
As autumn arrives,
In a single downpour.
New faces,
Strewn with mud and smiles.
Old friends;
Teammates all.
New rules,
Adapt and learn.
The ruck,
The maul.
Look after the ball,
Or it will be stolen,
As the law allows.
The scrum (no pushing),
Just crouch and bind and set,
For now.
The delight,
The try, the pass, the run.
The agony,
Of bump and bruise,
And recovery.
And after spring deluge,
To lockdown.
And dreams,
Of the hard fields,
Of September.
