On Sunday 3rd April the Old Caterhamians under 9's rugby team became overall champions at the Surrey Rugby Festival, held at Old Reigations Rugby Club. After drawing their first match at two tries apiece they beat their next five opponents very impressively. The front row, comprising Jasper, Lewis, Antony, Josh and Arlo formed the basis of a solid foundation with Tom as the scrum half. The Cats played the final of the competition against a well-drilled and unbeaten Reeds side. During the first half Reeds were doing all of the attacking. After an inspiring team talk given by team captain Connor, the Old Cats started the second half as if they wanted the job finished in a hurry with Thomas diving into the maul countless times to rip the ball free. This allowed Kieran and Bertie to find space to burst down the flanks and score in the corners with Rayhan tackling anyone who formed a threat. The Cats then scored three tries in quick succession. A delighted Cats side, having won 15-0, lifted the trophy, presented to them by the Surrey organisers. |
