U14 Rugby Report<br />

U14A TSS 15 - BBC 24<br />

ROUND 9 REPORTS V BBC<br />

Buoyed by an improved performance and first victory last week, the A’s started the game<br />

against BBC with confidence and flare. Some great team play saw the visitors skip out to<br />

a lead late in the half which they held going into half time. A very passionate halftime<br />

speech from all three coaches seemed to lift the visitors but unfortunately the BBC attack<br />

stepped up a few gears in the 2 nd half and ran over 2 tries within 5 minutes to leave TSS<br />

stunned. Despite the setback TSS finished the regular season showing glimpses of a side<br />

that will not be pushed around next year. There were moments throughout the season of<br />

sheer brilliance and also frustration; experiences which will make this team a much<br />

stronger, tight knit unit heading into the future.<br />

U14B TSS 22 – BBC 33<br />

The B’s started strongly against BBC and looked a force to be reckoned with in the final<br />

game of the season. But as has proved the case throughout the season, a strong start<br />

doesn’t always equate to a victory. As the match went on little mistakes again cost the visitors<br />

dearly with BBC scoring off a number of Southport errors. The boot of Josh Flatley<br />

kept the visitors in the game but the attacking strength of BBC proved too much for TSS<br />

today. A mixed season certainly, but one which has been character building and will help<br />

shape and define this team for the 2014 season.<br />

U14C TSS 19 - BBC 26<br />

If there were 5 more minutes in this game TSS would have come from behind to snatch a<br />

draw. Unfortunately being down 19 – 0 at halftime meant the visitors left themselves with<br />

too much to do too late in the game. The C’s looked lost early in the1st half with wave after<br />

wave of BBC raids proving too much for TSS. The half time reprieve could not have<br />

come sooner and the coach’s message couldn’t have been blunter. With a 2 nd half that<br />

harked back to the remarkable comeback game against Churchie, TSS began to play<br />

more consistently and began to string a few points together. Unfortunately it was too little<br />

too late but there are many positives to take out of the season which will help this squad<br />

in coming years.<br />

14C Best & Fairest – William Donaldson<br />

U14D TSS 41 - BBC 10<br />

After only 15 minutes the 14 D’s were up 29 – 0 against BBC who were destined to<br />

have a long day at the office. This side has played extremely well all year and is no surprise<br />

they have been awarded the most successful team in the U14 age group. Mitch<br />

Backler scored a hat trick today adding to a list of hat trick try scorers from this team<br />

this season. Another fantastic team try came as a cross field kick found a flying Joel<br />

Shields who scored late in the 2 nd half as TSS finished the season in style winning 41 –<br />
