Kicking off with our 1st XV and 2nd XV fixture against Glyn where Tiffin got the double win with two great performances. The earlier kick off from the 2s was a great watch for the spectators and, to Mr Latham’s delight, the boys showed how dangerous they can be in attack with the use of their set plays and consistency. The 1st team followed this with a great show of their defensive ability to keep Glyn to only a single try which was great to see after a big emphasis on defence in training that week. The boys showed how much they wanted the win by staying in the fight for the full 80 minutes and continuously front up in tackles.

Our U14As took the trip down to Glyn on the Saturday and found themselves in a great battle where both sides were scoreless at the half. With some great leadership, the half time talk got the boys in the right mindset and they went out and scored a quick try in the second half. Soon finding themselves back on their 5 meter line, the boys put up a great defence and managed to get the turnover and put the pressure back on Glyn. One of the boys came off the bench to make his first appearance for the A team and gave the rest of the team the boost they needed by scoring one of the best tries so far this season only to find out he’d stepped into touch. However, this boost ofenergy gave the boys the boost they needed to get over the line with a great line break to put Silas under the posts to seal off the win.
