Sunday 27 April 2008. Under 17s -v Sudbury (Away)
Sudbury 8 - Colchester 29
Colchester convincingly beat Subdury in the last game of the season with 5 well taken tries but the game was not as one sided as the scoreline might suggest.
The first half was a close affair, Colchester had the better of the play but Sudbury defended well and had their chances. Generally, Colchester were dominant but could not convert pressue into points. The forwards were strong, taking seveal scrums against the head (no mean achievement against a very good Sudbury pack) and creating good ball for the backs who looked threatening.
The break though came deep in the first half when a 22 drop out be Sudbury fell into the hands of winger David Brennan near the half way line, who stepped the pursuing Sudbury man before running forward evading three tackles and scoring out wide. That was the only score of the half.
Sudbury tired in the second half and Colchester scored four more tries, one more by David Brennan, two by Aaron Scott playing at centre and one by Stuart Day.
Sudbury as we know are not a team to give up and came back to score a drop goal and a try late in the game.
