Norfolk U17's
On November 7th Norfolk played fixtures against Suffolk and Cambridge at Thetford Rugby Club.
First up was Cambridge, from the kick-off Norfolk made their intentions clear with very direct running from the forwards, and a wide attacking game plan from the backs, this quickly paid dividends with 2 early tries. Cambridge then enjoyed some good territory and possession but defence held tight and soon it was Norfolk who again charged down pitch. From a well worked lineout the Norfolk pack drove out wide to score, this was followed by 2 further tries to Norfolk. Cambridge did score a well deserved late consolation try, but the final score saw a dominant Norfolk win 27-7.
Next we played Suffolk, after a slow start and going down a try, the Norfolk pack stepped up a gear and started to dominate the contact areas, which in-turn provided the platform for our very talented backline to cut loose in the last quarter and score 3 super team tries, leaving the final score a win for Norfolk 19-7.
Many thanks to the players who on the night were simply superb, and thanks for the amazing support on the side lines which really does help.
Thanks to the Clubs for supporting this important County Rugby age group.
