Match Report 31st October 2004
Ashford U12s Outstanding at the East Kent Festival
Ashford U12s stormed through Sunday’s East Kent festival at Dover, scoring 18 tries and conceding just 1. In their first match, a tough Canterbury side were dispatched 5 tries to 1. This was followed up by victories against Dover by 6 tries to nil and Thanet by 7 tries to nil.
Although the Ashford scrum rarely fired on all cylinders, the team’s rush defence and support play from the breakdown ensured they dominated territorially throughout the tournament. Try of the day came against Thanet. From a lineout steal by George Morgan, the ball was spun wide for winger Cameron Veitch to race over the try line and touch down unopposed. The score characterised Ashford’s superiority in both the mobility and handling departments.
Eleven players in total made the score sheet. Top of the pile was lock Christopher Albrow with 4, followed by winger Adam Batt with 3. Forwards Glenn Caton and Grant Noremac managed 2 tries each. Single tries were scored by Billy Stevens, George Morgan, Luke Ransley, Luke Chinnery, Cameron Veitch and Louis Burdon. Winger Harry Atkins also joined the score sheet with his first try for the club. Player of the week was Joseph Brightwell.
