TJs under 10's win Crawley Festival
A total team performance saw the TJs under 10 team win the Gold Cup at the Crawley Festival last Sunday. Wins in the pool stage against Midhurst 6 - 0 and Chichester 3 - 0 set up a tense encounter against the other strong team in the group Horsham.
A strongly fought contest saw TJ's come out winners 2 - 0. As winners of the group TJs went into the gold competition with Haywards Heath and Pulborough.
In the game against Haywards Heath, TJs defended well and set up their own attack to get a well worked try ending the game as 1-0 winners. The second game against Pulborough was a tougher affair with players on both sides putting every ounce of effort into the game. Eventually the game ended a 1-1 draw.
This meant that the game between Haywards Heath and Pulborough would decide the cup winners. Haywards Heath beat Pulborough which gave the Gold cup to Tonbridge Juddians
under 10.
Tonbridge Juddians under 9 also headed their group and went into the gold competition. However, stiff opposition meant that they finished the day as the gold cup runners-up. A creditable performance all round especially given the baptism of fire into the dark arts of the scrum and the lineout.
Well done to both teams!!!
