RUGBY WEEK 3- 6th December

CHS BOUNCE BACK

 A combined year 7&8 team travelled to Nantwich to play in a round robin tournament on Thursday 6^th December. Despite the cold, they all performed admirably with some standout performances from Jonny Adderley, Jarrard Bradley, Sam Cosgrove and Lewis Bent.

The quality of the CHS passing was noted by the RFU coach Jules Gilding, and all credit to the boys especially to Finley Noakes and Thomasz McNulty as they endeavoured to play rugby the right way by using their teammates at every opportunity.

The first game didn't go to plan with Brine Lees running out clear winners, only pride could be salvaged by our CHS boys in their second game versus an equally inexperienced year 8/9 side from Malbank.

 Their second game was a very physical affair with some awesome tacking from both sides no more so than the display from Logan Clowes, Kyle Taylor (year 9) and the talisman Alfie Tarrant. Again the boys grew through the game and developed their play to bounce back from their earlier defeat with a 15-10 win.

Special mention to Troy Whitehurst, Elliott Darman, Ali Abid, Harry Johnson and Ethan Whitehurst as they were unable to travel due to the vast numbers of rugby talent on offer at CHS and the fact we only had 16 spaces on the minibus! But not to worry, they will all be involved next week in the final round-robin for year 7. I look forward to that one with an eager anticipation.
