Hertfordshire U18s girls concluded their matches for this season with an overwhelming 67-0 victory against Essex. The match, held at Hitchin RFC, was actually stopped a third of the way through the second half due to a potentially serious injury to one of the Essex players, so the winning margin could have been much higher still. Luckily it turned out to be only a minor shoulder injury. <br /><br />Since Essex had won their previous match against Sussex, Herts were hopeful of a more even match than the one earlier in the month against Eastern Counties. Unfortunately, Essex were only able to muster 13 players, so Herts loaned Essex two of their players in order to get a 15-aside match. <br /><br />The Herts forwards were commanding at the breakdown and in the scrum. On several occasions they turned over the ball which allowed the backs to make inroads. By half time Herts had scored nine tries, three of which had come from the forwards who had found themselves with room. Zoe Harrison was on form with the boot and added six conversions to take the score to 55 – 0 at half time. <br /><br />With several changes at half time, to give all the Herts girls some game time, the try rate slowed a little in the second half. Nevertheless Herts scored two further tries before the match was stopped after 14 minutes of play. <br /><br />Fittingly the top scorers, with a hat-trick each, were fullback Sydney Gregson and prop Vicci Cogger. They were playing their final representative match for Herts U18s, along with Catrin Bowser, who also scored, and scrumhalf Bryony Pomfret. Katy Walker contributed two tries, Ellena Perry scored one and Zoe Harrison added one as well as her six conversions. <br /><br />After the match the girls rounded off what is a short county season with some appropriate speeches at the dinner. Head coach John Harrison paid tribute to the squad who had played saying, “You can be very, very proud of everything you have achieved…you have been a pleasure to coach and fully deserve your success”. <br /><br />Team: Harriet Austin, Sara Blissett, Catrin Bowser, Vicci Cogger, Hayley Everett, Tian Figg, Sydney Gregson, Zoe Harrison, Florence Jones, Rosie Kay, Aine McMahon, Pat Metcalfe-Jones, Sandra-Jo Palfrey, Ellena Perry, Bryony Pomfret, Helen Roberts, Izzie Sloan, Megan Smith, Jeanine Stephenson, Beth Summerfield, Kate Summerfield, Katy Walker <br /><br /><br />John Birchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15062999762082583258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28106035.post-22963186613361978312013-11-04T21:29:00.000+00:002013-11-04T21:29:40.073+00:00Herts U18 Girls too strong for Eastern Counties<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the first of two county matches this month Hertfordshire U18 girls won very convincingly by 83-0 against an inexperienced Eastern Counties side on Sunday. The match was played at Stowmarket in very blustery conditions. Paradoxically, Herts played better against the wind in the first half, notching up nine tries. They seemed to switch off for much of the second half before rounding off strongly at the end with a further four tries.</div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOBfhsy5XXqo3y49sAxOxRm4w1LhR4PSRLbgbA37p7wMznhes0s0atNK2fBMzLGkIyIbBZseMLedIV8TJ4fO64_wldVg-0SmdrGiH4F3NkQnKaGcEKYF3UGSOfMCZ9zeKvg/s1600/P1040213.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOOBfhsy5XXqo3y49sAxOxRm4w1LhR4PSRLbgbA37p7wMznhes0s0atNK2fBMzLGkIyIbBZseMLedIV8TJ4fO64_wldVg-0SmdrGiH4F3NkQnKaGcEKYF3UGSOfMCZ9zeKvg/s320/P1040213.JPG" width="320" /></a>All of the tries were scored by the backs. But the key was the domination of the pack, led by Harriet Austin, who was awesome in her destructive <span style="text-align: center;">capability at the breakdown. With plenty of quick ball coming out in the first half, distributed superbly by half-backs Bryony Pomfret and Zoe Harrison, there was plenty of time and space for the backs to run round and through the Eastern Counties defence.</span><br />
<br />
In the first half tries were scored at regular 2-4 minute intervals by Beth Summerfield (three), Katy Walker (two), Bryony, Zoe, Rosie Kay and Aine McMahon. Zoe also converted five of these in conditions that were very difficult for placekicking, as the wind was liable to whip the ball out of direction at any point. <br />
<br />
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTogmsFV7Uw141d4gxP-Z4Rw_nNg4bDphWSEDHlO4O6xx6e80QP_spzieaibznyKXhmnJ_OUgI6xVclsptdkQ0-09mrdiWwIx4gPXkyjXnDffA27AC12ovKQB6JhoQQSHEBw/s1600/P1040232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTogmsFV7Uw141d4gxP-Z4Rw_nNg4bDphWSEDHlO4O6xx6e80QP_spzieaibznyKXhmnJ_OUgI6xVclsptdkQ0-09mrdiWwIx4gPXkyjXnDffA27AC12ovKQB6JhoQQSHEBw/s320/P1040232.JPG" width="320" /></a>At the half-way point Herts turned around 55-0 and so it was perhaps not so surprising that they found it<br />
hard to maintain the same cohesion in the second half. The play became surprisingly scrappy as the girls became a little too complacent and over-ambitious with their passing and handling errors occurred. <br />
<br />
It wasn’t until the twentieth minute of the second half that Zoe found her way through to score once more. Eight minutes later Zoe broke through again. This time she was tackled 10 metres from the line but managed to pop up the ball to Beth who was on her shoulder and had an easy run in to score. <br />
<br />
Even when Eastern Counties got close to the Herts try line, they were unable to execute. After they gave away a scrum at the 5-metre line, the Herts defence was rapidly turned into attack as Zoe kicked the ball downfield for Katy to run onto and carry over. The final try was scored by Beth, with a run down the wing from midway to score under the posts. Zoe converted all four tries in the second half.<br />
<br />
With two of the Herts' divisional players unavailable, this wasn’t actually the strongest side that could have been fielded. It did, however, give the coaches the opportunity to play some of the less experienced players, with Kate Summerfield, Izzie Sloan and Tian Figg all making their Herts debuts at under 18 level. However it is hard to see much value for either side in such an unequal encounter. Even so these are still matches to be won and the girls executed much of their hard work in practice convincingly on the day. Credit should also be given to the Eastern Counties girls who didn’t give up and managed to contain the Herts girls for a 20-minute period at the start of the second half.<br />
<br />
After the match the referee complimented the Herts girls on both their good play and excellent attitude. The second county match will take place against Essex at Hitchin on November 24.<br />

Herts girls romped through the pool round without conceding a try. The first
match was a comprehensive 50-0 victory over Eastern Counties. Strong running by
forwards Ellena Perry and Harriet Austin, followed by a string of passes among
the backs, resulted in Katy Walker scoring the first try in the corner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Gregson completed a hatrick. Two of her tries were almost identical with strong
running through the middle complete with handoffs. Her third came as a result
of some good handling among the backs. Beth Summerfield scored two tries. Her
first involved a neat sidestep to score under the posts and her second came
from a run down the wing. Herts added a further try from their inside centre and
Zoe Harrison converted five of her eight attempts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

second match against Kent was, as expected, a tighter affair with Herts coming
out with a 12 – 0 win. Kent contained Herts for much of the match allowing the
Herts backs very little freedom with the ball. Herts’ first try came when prop
Vicci Cogger emerged with the ball from a maul and powered her way uphill 30m
to the tryline with players hanging off her. Sydney scored the second try under
the post which gave Zoe an easy conversion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

third pool game brought a 19 – 0 victory over Hampshire. The score line stood
at 0-0 for much of the game. Bringing on Vicci towards the middle of the second
half seemed to bring Herts to life and they scored three tries in quick
succession by Welwyn/Hartpury teamates Vicci and Sydney (who scored twice). Zoe
added two conversions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

final was against Surrey. Herts scored in the opening minutes when the ball was
moved neatly along the backs from a lineout resulting in a try for fullback Sydney.
This was her seventh of the day, making her Herts’ top try scorer. Herts’
second try followed a scrum 7 metres out when their inside centre powered
through the middle to score. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

final try of the day came when Beth picked up a loose ball near the half way
line and outsprinted the Surrey defence down the wing to score in the corner.
With Zoe successfully converting two of her three attempts Herts were 19-0

19-5. With an injury to a Herts player requiring an ambulance the match was
stopped with a minute to go and Herts were divisional champions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Herts U15s lose narrowly to Kent</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<div style="font-size: 12pt;">
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In a close and exciting match, Hertfordshire U15s lost 29-26 to Kent at Old Albanians on 18 November. After a long delayed start due to Kent's transport problems, Kent got stuck in straight from the kick off stretching Herts and using their big pack to rumble downfield. Herts were pinged for holding on and a tap and go saw Kent work the ball through their forwards to the Herts line. One of the big Kent forwards drove over the line and first blood went to Kent with the try converted. Herts were on the back foot.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Herts responded with a penalty of their own which was drilled into touch by Zoe Harrison (minus boot). From the resulting line-out the ball was recycled well and a </span><span style="font-family: arial;">powerful</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> run from Helena Rowland saw her crash over for Herts' first try. Herts were now finding their heads and a blistering run from Zoe Harrison found Hannah Botterman in support who jinked the defence and went over the whitewash. Zoe Harrison added the conversion to take the score to 12-7. Kent again used their forwards to rumble up the pitch and from a Kent scrum 5m out the ball was moved down the line for a large forward to crash over to even the score. Zoe Harrison then stormed through the Kent defence to score and then convert her try. From the restart Herts gave away a penalty which was drilled into touch. From the line-out Kent moved the ball to their flying centre who outpaced the Herts defence to score in the corner. It was real end to end rugby with the Kent centres making telling runs whenever they had the ball in their hands, and being stopped by the Herts defence. Against the run of play Helena Rowland powered through the Kent defence to score, with Zoe Harrison converting the try to give Herts a 26-17 lead at half time.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">From the restart Herts were awarded a scrum only to hold onto the ball and give away a penalty. The ensuing pressure exerted by the Kent pack led to another Kent try under the posts and a conversion to put them within two points of Herts. Herts now threw everything at Kent, who absorbed the pressure and then spent a long period of time attacking the Herts line. Despite a valiant defence by Herts, Kent broke out to score in the corner to go ahead. Herts were now camped out in their own half and despite their best efforts time eventually ran out.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial;">Credit to all the Herts girls who put up a superb display. Considering they are a fairly new squad every single player stood up and played to the best of their ability. Thank you to all the parents and friends who attended today - your vocal support was much appreciated.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">Hertfordshire Under 15 girls travelled to Upminster on 28 October and achieved an outstanding 90-10 win in their first county game of the season.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; margin: 0px;">
Herts started positively with the forwards securing clean ball which led to Helena Rowland scoring with a conversion from Zoe Harrison. Essex straight away fought back using their powerful forwards with their fly half going over to score a try in the corner. Herts responded immediately, with the ball being passed down the line to Anna Liddelow who outpaced the opposition to score in the corner. Herts were now getting into their stride, and Zoe Harrison followed this up with an individual try on the left. Essex brought their big pack into action, and again drove over for a well worked try. Herts upped the tempo and went over the whitewash only to be pinged for a forward pass. Superb direct running from Herts led to Anna Liddelow going over in the left corner for her second try. Herts backs then started to rampage through the Essex defence with Helena Rowland scoring and Zoe Harrison converting. Herts were now dominating, and Hannah Botterman broke four tackles and then passed to Zoe Harrison who scored and converted her own try. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; margin: 0px;">
The shackles were off, and in the second half Hannah Botterman sold an outrageous dummy to score under the post, and Zoe Harrison followed it up with a conversion. Zoe Harrison led the charge, scoring with one catch from the restart, and scoring again within thirteen seconds. Hannah Botterman then sold another dummy, to score under the posts, which Sapphire Bennett converted. Things weren't going Essex's way, and an attempted kicking clearance ended with Zoe Harrison charging the ball down to score. Again Sapphire Bennett converted the try. Herts were now dominating in all aspects of the game with Hannah Botterman's straight and hard running resulting in another try. The pattern continued with Zoe Harrison scoring the tries, and Sapphire Bennett kicking the points. Herts ended the game with a tally of 14 tries and 10 conversions to Essex's two tries. All in all a fantastic display by the Herts girls in their first match together and a good start to the county season. </div>

"Due to the inclement weather across the country a decision has been taken to postpone all Divisional CB festivals this weekend for both the Junior and Senior programmes. We are very disappointed to have to make this decision but a number of the venues are currently waterlogged, there are over 200 flood warnings across the country and travel warnings have been issued. We do not wish to put any player at risk through unnecessary travel. We felt it was important to make an early decision to keep any inconvenience to a minimum and to an ensure a consistent message was given to everyone.<br />
<br />
We will look at the possibility of further CB activity after Christmas depending on local and national need and will be in come back to you on this in the New Year. Please feel free to contact your WRDO if you have any thoughts on this."<br />
<br />
The Herts county training session due to be held at Welwyn RFC on Wednesday 28 November has also been cancelled - though the U15s training may still go ahead if the pitches are suitable..<br />
<br />
The coaches would like to thank the players and parents for their support at the two matches we have played, and the training sessions.John Birchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15062999762082583258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28106035.post-81566529448638561372012-11-19T20:39:00.004+00:002012-11-19T20:41:39.006+00:00Herts U18s draw with Kent<br />
In the second of the county friendly matches in the run-up to the London and South East county festival Hertfordshire U18 Girls drew 12 – 12 with Kent U18s in an absorbing fixture at Old Albanians RFC on Sunday.<br />
The match started late after Kent had managed to sink their original coach in the field at Aylesford, not having sufficient space to turn around in the car park, and so had to wait for replacement transport to turn up. Despite the difficult start off the field, Kent took the lead in the match after barely three minutes. They turned over Herts around ten metres out and moved the ball across rapidly to give an overlap for an easy way in.<br />
Herts fought back immediately and in the twelfth minute Saracen’s Marie Beaufils made a strong run from the Kent 22, fending off one back before being pulled down just short of the line. Welwyn flanker Harriet Austin was right on her shoulder and the ball was popped up to give her an easy try.<br />
<br />
The next ten minutes saw a tense stand-off in the middle of the field, as the two packs got to grip with each other, with a growing sense that the next score could be decisive. The deadlock was broken when Welwyn centre Stevie Farrow found a great line through Kent’s defence to run in from their 22-metre line. She topped this with her own conversion.<br />
<br />
Once they got going Herts began to dominate their counterparts and had the advantage in the first half. At half time several changes were made to give all players game time, and to help the Herts coaches to assess all members of the squad for selection for the upcoming festival. This seemed to have a profound impact. Immediately from the restart Herts were on the back foot and spent several minutes with Kent pounding them around the 5-metre area, with the ball held up twice in the try area. Eventually the pressure told and after a penalty Kent shipped the ball out wide to give Kent the equalising score.<br />
<br />
The two teams were very evenly matched in all aspects of the game, with Kent perhaps looking the more threatening in the second half. Nonetheless it was remarkable, given the talent and commitment being shown, that there were no further scores over the next twenty-five tense minutes.<br />
<br />
This was a match which Bob Dawson, Herts backs coach, thought that Herts certainly could have, and probably should have, won. Commenting after the match he said, “While there was some great defensive tackling, Herts failed to play the game at sufficient pace and with variety in order to make their opponents have to think. Against such a tough opposition, as expected, this was a positive performance and with the first half in mind, bodes well for the festival coming up.”<br />
<br />
Herts team: Harriet Austin, Marie Beaufils, Catrin Bowser, Lotte Clapp, Katy Cook, Elizabeth Crake, Emily Davis, Hayley Everett, Stevie Farrow, Melissa Gargaro, Ellie Hurer, Florence Jones, Hannah Jones, Rosie Kay, Abbie Maxwell, Corinne McDonough, Pat Metcalfe-Jones, Sidney Nurthen, Bryony Pomfret, Megan Smith, Olivia Stembridge, Aleah Townsend, Katy Walker.<br />

<i><br /></i>
HERTFORDSHIRE was the place to be for another example of the growing interest in girls’ rugby when 28 teams and more than 400 players from 17 schools took part in the Girls’ Rugby Festival for Schools at Hertford RFC.<br />
<br />
Two of the most prominent faces of England Women’s rugby, Maggie Alphonsi and Michaela Staniford, were on hand to add to the excitement.<br />
<br />
Michaela is a teacher at Rickmansworth School who entered two teams in the competition and Maggie, of course, is the RFU’s Divisional Talent Development Officer in London & South East.<br />
<br />
Maggie said: “Many girls have the ability to play at a higher level, and the key is to let them know what opportunities are available to them and to help them progress.<br />
<br />
“The talent is out there and it’s exciting to come to a school event like this and see their potential.”<br />
<br />
In the Under 13 competition, 16 teams took part in the pool stages, with the top two from each of four pools progressing to the Trophy knock-out stages and the bottom two to the Shield.<br />
<br />
The 12 teams in the U15 category followed a similar format, which meant all teams enjoyed a good number of matches.<br />
<br />
Competition was fierce but every game was played in fantastic spirit, culminating in four finals as follows:<br />
<br />
U13 Shield: Knights Templar 15 Queens’ 0;<br />
<br />
U13 Trophy: Presdales 30 St Mary’s Catholic 5;<br />
<br />
U15 Shield: Sir John Lawes 10 Knights Templar 10 (Sir John Lawes win on countback);<br />
<br />
U15 Trophy: Beaumont 30 St Mary’s Catholic 10.<br />
<br />
Mark Elliott, President of Hertfordshire RFU, presented the trophies and said: “The numbers taking part were unbelievable and it was good to see so many smiling faces of the girls clearly enjoying their rugby.”<br />
<br />
Beaumont and St Mary’s U15 teams will be attending the QBE International between England and South Africa on Saturday November 24, to showcase the RFU National Girls U15 Schools Competition, which this year is being introduced in addition to the U13 Girls Competition.<br />
<br />
The girls will play on the pitch before the match, and will form the Guard of Honour as England and South Africa run out – a marvellous day for everyone involved to look forward to.<br />

The Herts girls scored fifteen unanswered tries, along with six conversions.<br />
<br />
With the match so early in the season, it was largely seen as a friendly warm-up for the London<br />
and South East county tournament in December. Regrettably Essex were unable to field a full team<br />
and so Herts loaned them a couple of their players, with the match set up as four quarters with<br />
regular change-overs. While this allowed the coaches to try out a series of different combinations,<br />
particularly in the forwards pack, it also made for a somewhat disjointed match with no real pattern<br />
emerging other than Herts domination in both the forwards and backs.<br />
<br />
Try scorers were Sydney Gregson with six tries, Marie Beaufils with three tries, Harriet Austin with<br />
two tries, Corinne McDonough with two tries, and Bryony Pomfret and Elizabeth Crake each with<br />
one try. Abbie Maxwell added five conversions with Stevie Farrow contributing one. Though tries<br />
were fairly regular throughout, the opening five minute period in the second quarter proved telling<br />
as Sydney ran in three tries, running some fine lines picking up the ball at speed from the centres to<br />
find big holes in the Essex defence.<br />
<br />
It’s fair to say that Essex weren’t able to provide the strength of opposition to really test the Herts<br />
girls and a sterner test can be expected in the next match against Kent – always a tough fixture.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Girls rugby is still a growing sport so its not unusual to see clubs join forces to make up a team and today was no exception. The U15 girls team entered into this seasons RFU U15 girls league was made up of girls from Camelot RFC, Luton RFC and Royston RFC , all wearing the Camelot shirts. ( Their next match will be at Royston where they will run out in Royston kit.) The opponents were also a cluster team comprisng girls from Newmarket, St Neots and Harlow. It was the first time the girls from Hemel Hempstead had joined forces with Royston and Camelot team manager Debby Klyen and Royston coach Kevin Green were wondering if they would weld together as one team. Their concerns were groundless, the Camelot/Royston/luton girls played brilliantly, winning their first RFU league match 58-27, with the four girls from Camelot all scoring 1 try!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">On the other pitch at the club the brand new Herts U18 girls Baa Baa's team, also entered into the RFU U18 girls league, were playing their second warm up match against the Berkshire U18 Baa Baa's. The Herts Baa Baa's is made up of girls from Camelot, Old Albanians, Bishop Stortford and Hertford . Girls who would have left the game if this new team had not been formed. "Its going to be a tremendously successful project" said Amanda Bate County Volunteer Co-ordinator. " We have tireless support from some amazing volunteers, Kevin Green who is sorting out the fixtures and Debby Klyen of Hemel Hempstead is the team manager for the Baa Baa's and Jane Everett (former England, and OLd Albanians Ladies,) and Julie Gibbs ( Hertford and Tabard Ladies) providing excellent coaching. Credit must go to these 4 volunteers who have gathered 25 girls so far, and in a few short weeks shaped them into a team. So good are these girls that 7 of them were selected last week to be part of the Herts U18 county team!! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Any girl at senior school who would like to play rugby at Camelot should contact Debby Klyen </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="mailto:debra.klyen@gmail.com" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">debra.klyen@gmail.com</a></span>John Birchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15062999762082583258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28106035.post-11313027044039179272012-10-09T19:41:00.001+01:002012-10-09T19:46:40.946+01:00Royston girls don Hemel Hempstead shirts all for their love of rugby<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Many would think its a </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">strange</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> thing to do, wear another clubs shirts!
