Cup winners and Plate runners-up

What a cracking day at the Bedfordshire Mini Festival!

First of all, thank you to all parents for bringing the kids along to Dunstablians. I am chuffed that we managed to get a "B" Team into the Festival. I did not feel comfortable about having to leave half the team out, so that was a real result even if I was worried about player numbers. My particular thanks to Ben Spary and Gethin Llewellyn who joined us on the day. We ended up with 20 players who neatly divided into four squads. My thanks to Matthew Guy and Kyle O'Leary who stepped into the "B" Team to balance the numbers. This was fairly arbitrary: these are the youngest of our Under 7s.

I would also like to thank you all for your help on Sunday. Between coaches, referees, score keepers, team managers, I hope I managed to give you all a job! Grins. Seriously, it would have been impossible without all your help, willingly and happily given. Thank you.

I have the detailed scores and scorers below. The A Team won all five of their fixtures, and with it the Cup, which is a huge achievement.
Luton A 17 - 9 Luton B
Luton A 17 - 12 Dunstablians
Luton A 18 - 17 Biggleswade
Luton A 17 - 10 Ampthill (Semi-final)
Luton A 17 - 14 Dunstablians (Final)

After a slow start, losing all three pool games, the B Team came very good at the business end of the day. They were really unlucky to be pipped by Biggleswade in the Plate Final. It is worth noting that this is a repeat of last season when our B Team also lost the Plate Final by a single try. This is the same team that won the Cup this season. It all bodes very well!
Luton B 9 - 17 Luton A
Luton B 10 - 13 Biggleswade
Luton B 9 - 15 Dunstablians
Luton B 17 - 9 Bedford (Semi-final)
Luton B 15 - 16 Biggleswade (Final)

We did not give out any Man of the Match awards this week. Given how well that they all played, it would be unfair to single any one out. All played excellent rugby, all played for their team mates. We almost had another perfect day: 19 of our 20 players scored tries. That is my real measure of success.

We have got a new category: the "100 Club". Harrison Yang was our first member as he scored his 100th try of the season a couple of weeks ago against Shelford. This is more noteworthy for the fact that Harrison was not with us for the first two game-days (Leighton Buzzard and Bedford). Josh Wilton and Freddie Findlay joined Harrison on Sunday as they too have scored more than 100 tries.
