The psychological advantage Mayville always has with this fixture made Alton quake in their boots. This was a game of two halves, in the first Alton did not compete, resulting in a 28 point deficit. In the second, Alton played resounding rugby particularly in the forwards. The tackling and the pressure Alton placed on Mayville was superb. James, Tom and Aislinn drove forward into Mayville to create gaps and breaks for Henry and Josh. One such forward brought Alton’s only try and it was a beaut! James took the ball on with the pack driving forward into the opposition’s 22. Aislinn linked to create another driving maul, releasing the ball back to James who fed Jack, who then peeled off the maul to the blindside to pass the ball to Josh who sprinted to the corner to score a great team try.

Away, vs St Nicholas

U12A - A brilliant game from this very strong year 7 team. To begin Alton were a bit sloppy with some loose passing and shooting but after 5 mins they settled down and started to assert their authority. Passing then became easy and so resulting in giving the shooters lots of chances. A fantastic win of 10 - 5 which was brilliant practice for the District tournament. Player of the match - Rebecca (c).

U12 B - This team had a much tougher match agaisnt some very good opponents. Alton were very keen and worked very hard but the ball would not go in the goal! A result of 6 - 9 but a close game.

Notoriously strong, this match proved no exception for Alton. Dunhurst showed excellent passing and ball skills to get ahead of Alton. Although we had lots of shots on goal, none would go in! Result of 0 - 2. Players of the match - Fiona and Francesca.
