.The 2009/10 - St Brendan's Under 9's - The season so far ....

It was always going to be difficult to beat every team we played into submission, as we did last season, but we still have a very strong squad and have won some tough fixtures. Our squad this season has increased to 26! Which is fantastic. The boys come from a number of different schools and yet gel together brilliantly, they are a really friendly bunch and we have great fun on Sundays. The seasons first game was against Chipping Sodbury and I made sure all the boys played some part in the fixture (which is difficult when we have a squad of 26 and it is only 7 a side!) We won convincingly in very heavy rain.

Our first ever defeat followed against the very well organised Old Bristolians, in a very close game that could have gone either way. The boys then had the chance to play Clifton for the first time and played fantastically well in winning the first game but unfortunately we lost the second game so honours were even. We entered two teams into the Old Bristolians Festival in November, St Brendan's Exiles and St Brendan's Crusaders. There were some very strong sides playing and the Crusaders did very well in winning and drawing 2 of their 3 games and finishing runners up in their league.

The Exiles won their league scoring too many tries to count! So they were through to the final against the hosts Old B's. This was a chance for Old B's to gain revenge for the pasting they were given by us at the Peter Pulin Tournament last season. Unfortunately we lost a thrilling game 7-6, but the boys walked away with their heads held high as it was a superb performance and no more could have been asked of them.
The boys quickly put the defeat behind them and the following week they stuffed Avonmouth at Coombe Dingle.

2008 was rounded off in great style when the parents accepted the challenge of a game of tag from their sons. The game was taken very seriously by all involved and their were lots of individual scores to settle. The game finished all square and with full contact, in fact the referee was upended at the end by a great tackle from an unnamed parent! (Remember I know who you are and where you live!!!!!)
