The Under 15 A and B teams took on RGS this week.
The Under 15 boys produced an outstanding performance to overcome RGS 31-17 in an excellent encounter on Saturday morning. Scoring started early in the game when NSB fly half Robbie B intercepted and ran in from 50m, he added the conversion himself. Following good work from forwards Abu U, Matthew J and Archie M, powerful number 8 Harry N charged in to add a second. Johnson added a third to give NSB a 19-0 lead.
RGS rallied superbly and at half time drew back to 19-17. NSB’s defence in the second half was outstanding. Centres Christie O and Toby S making outstanding tackles and forwards Oliver T, Haseeb A and Max R showing outstanding resilience. It was good awareness that ensured NSB’s second half tries with clever kicks leading to tries for Somersall and Bowman to give a final score of 31-17. Well done to the whole squad.
Then, the Under 15B team had a terrific match at Mooracres on Monday, bolstered by a number of A team players they played some really creative attacking rugby. The game finished 9 tries to 8 to RGS with Mo A and Oliver Gill scoring two tries each and players like Tarush B, Daniel N, Matthew H and Arafat A continuing to make excellent progress.
