A fantastic afternoon of rugby for the U9 boys. A huge thank you to Port Regis for hosting the tournament and lots of fun was had by all.

It was clear from the very start that FSM were keen and raring to go for the games. Freddie showed brilliant leadership skills from the start and was able to organise the team into positions.

FSM grew in strength and confidence throughout the tournament, scoring highly in all three games and securing the wins.

Captain Freddie was a real role model to all, going for every ball and never giving up. He scored lots of tries showing great speed and agility. He also showed fairness and kindness to others and always ensured people on his team got to play.

Cameron showed guts and determination throughout scoring try after try. He managed to weave in and out of the defence, showing great agility and drive. He made some crunching tackles too! Great strength shown throughout.

William showed guts to recover from a tricky tackle early on and pushed through to help FSM secure their win in the final game. He showed good handling skills and was keen to get stuck into tackles. A great team player.

Eason was impressive with how quickly he was able to pick up his understanding of the game. As the tournament went on he was growing in confidence and made some excellent tackles. He was beginning to drive forward when he had the ball too.

Felix showed real strength when running with the ball, scoring some excellent tries. Brilliant handling skills shown too.His confidence grew as the games went on and he was a key player, showing consistency, grit and determination.

Jaiden really showed he could really push himself and almost scored a cracking try…he went slightly into touch which meant it was disallowed but it just shows what he is capable of if he keeps pushing himself.

Charles worked well for his team, showing good ball handling and speed when he got the ball, driving forward. He also loved getting involved in the tackles. He worked hard for the team.

Tommy was a key player throughout. He was able to communicate with his team, help sort the defensive line and make brilliantly timed tackles. When he got the ball he showed his knowledge, driving forward at speed!

Daniel showed real determination on the ball and enjoyed tackling the opposition. He was growing in confidence as the games went on and was beginning to drive forward with speed when in possession.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon! Well done team.
