U9’s V Exmouth

Under 9s

We travelled to Exmouth with less than half our squad, with only 8 players, after a bug wiping out alot of our players.

We played 3 games against Exmouth’s big squad but didn’t get to play the welsh this time.

Exmouth have a strong team but not strong enough. Every Honiton kid stepped up and took the challenge set to them very personally, stopping theirs big boys, and being the player who made that tackle which Exmouth wasn’t used to.

Our running with the ball and passing couldn’t be lived with and on a pitch 1/3 of our normal size we still found spaces and room to pass the ball around!

Some great performances from everyone but Player of the Week to Teddy who seemed to be impossible to tackle today and was dancing around Exmouth every time he had the ball and scored some important tries and followed it up with some big tackles!
