A brief report of yesterdays L&SE Schools U14 Tournament held at Thurock RFC, with thanks.
Weather: warm and wet all day. Sun came out for the finals.
Two pools of 4 originally. One school dropped out last week. Eastern Counties had no representative. Otherwise 7 Counties were represented.
By start time of 1100 hrs only 2 schools had arrived which sent the programmed timetable awry although we did catch up. The final originally scheduled for 1415 KO at 1430.
Pool A
Westcliff HS (Ex) 7 – Bishop Stortford HS (He) 0
Westcliff 0 – Wardens Park S (Sx) 5
B.Stortford 0 – Wardens Park 15
Pool B
London Oratory (Mx) 29 – St.Peters CCC (Sy) 0
Perins S (Ha) 29 – Chaucer TC (K) 0
London Oratory 25 – Chaucer 0
St.Peters 5 – Perins 24
London Oratory 10 – Perins 0
St.Peters 12 – Chaucer 5
Final: London Oratory 22 – Wardens Park 0 (tbc)
At the same time as the final 4 schools played an extra game by their own arrangement.
