The Last Hurrah.

After a long hard season, the first at youth level, a visiting team from the top division in Essex is just what you want to finish on a high. Or is it?

Over the course of the season this team of Holt under 13 players have proved they are capable of playing some of the best rugby in the county, the quickest rugby around with the most ferocious set of forwards in the region. Mentally our season ended on that glorious day in March. Did we mention the Norfolk Cup?

The fixture against Barking was a tough encounter and one that the visiting team were totally dominant in, apart from a few phases of play and the last 20 minute session, where we found our mojo and started to give Barking some of their own medicine. Enough in fact to have one of their players sin-binned and for them to start fighting amongst themselves. Credit must go to Alexander for scoring the two Holt tries and the tireless work by Ally, Jenks and Harry in the midfield. On a positive note it gives us a lot to work on for next season. We like a challenge.


The Player's Player Of The Season.
Voted for by the player's this award is a true reflection of how the player's see their team-mates and the contribution they offer. This season's award goes to Harrison Nolan. Well done Harrison, who has played several games at scrum-half but has also featured several times on the flanks, in both positions he has worked very hard at, quietly and confidently getting the job done. Excellent choice boys.
