boarding school for ages 4-18
16 September 2011
Playing in their first fixture for the year, with some boys playing for the first time ever, Gosfield secured a well deserved win. In what was more of a training match for both teams, Myles Odedina shone scoring 4 tries and showing great speed and footwork. This was a very good team effort for a match so early in the season and whilst all boys deserve praise, some deserve special mention. Luke Robinson playing in the centres excelled, as did Edward Brett at flyhalf, both scoring some wonderful individual tries. Seamus Maguire and Ben Turp having their first rugby match were everywhere and ran with great strength. Thomas Lally was very powerful and crashed over for two tremendous tries. A fine start to the season, well done!
