Weekend Round Up 19/02 & 20/02
Saturday 19/02
Upminster 12 – Llamas 16
Rugby clubs up and down the country will have reflected on the tragic passing of Evesham player Jack Jeffrey last weekend, and so it was at Upminster with the players of both games and club members paying tribute before the respective KO's.
A muddy and heavier than it needed to be game saw both teams struggling to make the most of their opportunities at times, Upminster started to find their stride in the second half while the Llamas held onto what could have been a bigger lead. The conditions meant this was always going to be a hard day at the scrum and the Llamas pack made a decent fist of it to allow some backs movement.
Sunday 20/02
Rams 5 Venus 0
Windsor 33 Venus 0
Not content with one last minute friendly, Venus snuck in two mini games on Sunday with a mini tournament at Windsor in the still rather inclement weather. The MVP of the day goes to (not surprisingly, it was not backs friendly weather) second row Flavia Bivikorang, great job on her first match for the club.
