Effingham Minis do us proud at Surrey A Festival

16th April 2012

On a cold, but somtimes sunny day at Dorking RFC, the Effingham Minis section did the club proud at the Annual Surrey A Festival.

The U7s were Runners-up in the Cup Final to Rosslyn Park - well done to the boys in their first season of competitive rugby.

Our U8s were Runners-up to Old Reedonians, but have had another strong season and are looking forward to the challenges of contact rugby next season.

The U9s lost in the Plate semi-final to Kings.

Congratulations to our U10s who were joint Surrey A Champions with Farnham RFC.

The U11s were Runners-up in the Plate Final.

The U12s began the day with a fantastic win over a strong London Irish A team (who had not been beaten at a festival since they were U8s). With a tight pool win over Guildford, the Eagles were through to the Cup Quarter-final against Chipstead RFC. Once again the spectator nerves were in shreds as they once again scraped through by a try to nil.

Our luck ran out in the Semi final against Farnham RFC. 7-0 up with seconds to go, Farnham finally managed to breach our line and bring the scores level, and we were eliminated on countback.

A sad end to a fantastic season for the U12s who are looking forward to the wide open spaces in Junior rugby next season.

WELL DONE TO ALL THE PLAYERS AND COACHES WHO REPRESENTED EFFINGHAM & LEATHERHEAD RFC MINIS THIS SEASON
