SPORTING NEWS Year 9/10 Inter-Trib Rugby – Tier 1 Mr Montgomery writes… Fleet 9 points – 44 points scored Walbrook 7 points – 35 points scored Tyburn 5 points – 20 points scored Effra 3 points – 0 points scored The annual Inter-Trib tier one matches took place on the fantastic first team pitch at Twyford Avenue with the boys excited to be against their peers for this year’s bragging rights. Fleet 15 vs Tyburn 5 Inter-Trib rugby started with Fleet taking on Tyburn in a closely contested match with some excellent rugby on show. The boys worked hard in the Tyburn team with an excellent example being set from Pip, their captain, who made a series of excellent tackles preventing Fleet from getting any ground. The deadlock was broken with some excellent ball carrying from Antonio Mendes and Jack Henniker-Gotley which provided space for JP Cairaschi to score. At half time Tyburn were down by two scores, but all was not lost when they were able to steal the ball in a ruck and register some points. The final blow came towards the end of the game though with
Fleet scoring again to secure their first three points of the competition. Effra 0 vs Walbrook 25 A very strong Walbrook team looked full of confidence as they came out to play a depleted Effra team. Walbrook scored early as they asserted their dominance, with Oliver Lind sidestepping and gliding through tackles. Harrison Sotir was a constant force for Walbrook, stealing the ball from Effra on a number of occasions which starved them of possession. Effra came close to scoring a few times, with great runs from Anthony Abrahams and Evangelos Megaritis, but despite their best efforts they could not register any points. Fleet 15 vs Effra 0 Effra stayed on and were kindly lent some players from Tyburn to try and strengthen their team against a well-structured Fleet team. Effra kicked off and Fleet immediately responded with a try after some immense running from Nelson Tobin. Effra struggled to get in the game as wave after wave of attacking threat came from Fleet with Fabien Cairaschi, Nour Hammad and Nelson Tobin leading the charge. Effra continued to battle on the second half but the strength and depth that Fleet had on their team was too much.
