Woodbridge U13s B vs St Felix School U13s
It what was a closely contested game in the end, but with a fast start by Woodbridge. It all came together with some much-improved handling skills and playing at a quick tempo which saw Woodbridge take the early lead. They took St Felix by surprise playing with quick hands down the line to their wingers who ran in two early tries. A small spell of inaccuracy with knock-ons and ill-discipline from both sides saw scrums and penalties slow down the game, but just before half time Woodbridge took back control of the game with two more tries before St Felix got one for themselves to head into half time with some confidence.
Half time score: Woodbridge 4 – St Felix 1
St Felix took the start of the second half by storm running in three back-to-back tries from some big ball carriers going through the middle of Woodbridge’s defence; while Woodbridge started the second half slowly and with a lot of missed tackles. With the score now being level, both teams were looking for that winning try. Both started to throw the ball around with solid catch and pass skills, causing the game to go from end to end and both teams scoring after each other; it went down to the last few minutes. The game finished eight tries each, a good representation of how the game flowed with neither team deserving to lose. The Woodbridge boys showed great improvement and will be looking forward to their next fixture to carry on the good work.
Final Score: Woodbridge 8 – St Felix 8
