Cornwall U18 South West Tournament Round Up
Paul Howard, Team Manager
The U18 season for Cornwall is now complete. We had three very enjoyable games at Hartpury, but overall we have to look back and know we didn’t play to our full potential for long enough periods over the games. When it clicked in the 2nd half of the first game, 1st half on the 2nd game and patches of the 3rd game, we were the best side on display over all the counties, but at other times we may have been considered one of the worst. We scored some great team tries, were dogged when defending our own line, showed some real power in the scrums and were clinical in the line-out. There were plenty of positives for all the players to take from playing for Cornwall.
Thank you to all the boys and parents for their commitment to train and travel.
After our last game the SW selectors shortlisted players to move forward to SW trials at the end of Jan. Although we would have liked more, well done to the five below who were selected:
Archie Beetles
Ola Phillips
Oli Wells
Joe Horne
Will Geddes-Brown
Best of luck for the next stage.
