Effingham and Leatherhead RFC Player, Coaches and Parents enjoyed a fabulous day of Rugby through our association with Harlequins RFC. U7-U11’s where treated to a once in a lifetime opportunity to play at England Rugby Headquarters, Twickenham.
A fantastic match proceed, Quins outplayed the Saints for a convincing win. Match report can be found here
Many thanks to Nick Wilkinson, Minis Chairman and Harlequins for their hard work organising and making many peoples dreams a reality.
Below are team photos from U7 through to U11.
Thank you Nick Wilkinson for the time and effort you put into this and to all the ELRFC Coaches for the time they give to the club.
Here’s to next years event and a Happy New Year to you all.
Also, thanks to Lee W for sorting out the transport, worked perfectly.
I’m still buzzing and so were my boys.
The B team performed brilliantly come back from 3 nil down at half time to win 9-3 following some great defensive work to continuously turn the ball over and turn defensive into attack.
The A team were outstanding, beating a very good Cranbrook side 10-1. They were solid in defence and brutal in attack earning the right to go wide on a very narrow pitch. The handling and continuity of their play was first class and well organised by Jack Ellis-Robsinson at fly half who had a stormer!
With both teams wing well the smiles across the faces of the boys at the end was a joy to behold. Hopefully this will not be the last time some of these boys play in this stadium.
