Under 8’s – The Younger Vikings.

Game 1.

Finchley 8-6 Chingford

A good opening but unfortunately we just missed out in this one. Some great tagging, again end to end stuff, great for the paying spectator, the coaches and refs couldn’t keep up. We were just outdone by some good play from our hosts who eventually won out, a well deserved win.

Game 2.

Finchley 7-5

Another close game, some great tagging, and passing. Finchley had some quickies with some great feet who kept cutting through our defensive lines. Chingford countered with some great passing of their own which led to Amir Kadem steamrollering through with a great try, and ably assisted by Drew Buisson pushed our hosts to the edge but they kept us at bay for the second time.

Game 3.

Chingford 7-3 Hammersmith

All of the hard work in the first games paid off in this match up, some great passing, and tagging by Daniel Browne, and Nathanael Jordon led to a flurry of tries for the Black, White and Blue. Some great work in defence on our try line held up Hammersmith on many attacks. The children played really well especially as the wind was that cold now even I was shivering. A great win!!

Game 4.

Chingford 1-4 Finchley.

Possibly a game too far, after the joy of the previous win, we came back down to earth with a bump. Finchley and their quickies were too strong for Chingford as the cold and the wind began to take its toll. A good win for the hosts and a great days rugby for the Under 8’s.

Coach Argent said ,” There was some great defensive work on show today, some great tagging. Some superb tries in minimum of passes, good ball control against blistering and chilly winds for the first time this season”.
