PHOENIX II 22 v 25 NEWBURY A’s
Newbury A’s win final league game
Sat 7th April 2-30 pm KO - Wadworth 6X BBO Div 4 South
Newbury A’s travelled to Phoenix and come away with a hard-earned victory
Newbury A’s made up of a good mix of veterans and the usual stalwarts travelled to Phoenix for their final league game of the 2017/2018 season
A newly formed Senior 3rd’s team, the excellent season for this A squad was marred only by a few weekends when their opposition concede games and on a couple of weekends when they were unable to raise a team, however they had several great results scoring over 40 points on 8 occasions and beating the eventual league winners by 46-5 at home. The A’s finishing a worthy second place in the Wadworth 6X BBO Div 4 South.
The A’s was setup and run this season by one of our seniors Coaches, Lorne Lee with a view to creating a pathway for Juniors and Colts players to experience senior rugby. The team has been instrumental in introducing several of Newbury’s younger players to senior league rugby, a lot having gone on to play for Newbury’s second team The Stags as and when required.
Well done to all those who have turned out for the A’s this season and Lorne is looking to build a wider squad including more Juniors and younger players in the off season.
