Under 7’s – The Mini Vikings.

Game 1.

Finchley 4-7 Chingford.

A great start for the Mini Vikings of the Ching. Out of the blocks like Thor and his hammer, the children came to play and as one of our coaches said, “although it was cold, they looked like they loved it, and the results reflected that”. Tries from Jake Luxford, Oliver Harris, Simeon West, and Conor Harding proved to be too far for the home side to catch in the end. A great opener.

Game 2.

Finchley 1-6 Chingford

The children came out on fire once more, some great tagging, and passing led to another victory. Again tries from Oliver Harris, Ethan Gray, Conor Harding, and Jake Luxford, and the Fereos boys, Anthony and Andreas, proved too strong for the home side and the win was Chingford’s.

Game 3.

Hammersmith 2-1 Chingford.

This was a massive game, massive being 11-a side, 22 children all going for it, Conor Harding volunteered to make up the numbers on Hammersmith’s side as the wind was really biting so all of the children played. This was great to watch. End to end, side to side, some great passing by Bradley Fisher, Oliver Harris, Jack Prentice, Seb Short led to an opening try. Just as we thought we were in the driving seat. Hammersmith “hammered” back with an equalising try. Tagging was great from both sides, and the Hammersmith boys went over for the winning try, scored no less by our own Conor Harding.

A great end to the mornings rugby, lots of smiling faces. Coach Gray commented after, “All the children got some fantastic tags , with some excellent defending on our try line, fundamentally though they played like a team, a real team, looking for each other when they got tagged and impressively, before they ran into trouble. All in all I thought today was great, and a few of the parents also commented to that fact too”.
