Ross Rugby Club Under 15s have had a busy couple of weeks; on October 16th they travelled to Bredon, where they played in a three-way round robin against Bredon RFC and Lougher RFC, a touring side from Wales.

Ross and Bredon kicked off the precedings and an early converted try from Bredon put them in the lead. However, Ross came back fighting and Louis Trotman scored the first points for Ross. This was swiftly followed by a try from Callum Coe, which was successfully converted by Ollie Cross to make the score 7- 12 to Ross. A third try for Ross came again from Louis Trotman, converted by Ben Pilot. The final Score was Bredon 7 - 19 Ross.

The second match was Ross versus Lougher, and the touring side dominated the match. Ross put up a strong defence but two matches in quick succession was too much for them and Lougher came away the victors.

The third match was Bredon vs Lougher and again Lougher were the winners. They had a very successful tour and complimented both Ross and Bredon for being welcoming and friendly clubs. Ross U15s are hoping to visit Lougher for a return match in the near future.

On October 23rd, Ross U15s travelled to Hucclecote RFC in Gloucester. With a depleted side due to half term holidays and injuries, Ross fronted a full team, but had no subs.

Hucclecote were also short on players and had drafted in a couple of Under 16s to complete their squad. Hucclecote took the lead five minutes into the match with a converted try.

They then built on their success with two more tries and one conversion. The half time score stood at 19-0. The second half started the way the first finished and Hucclecote scored a fourth try.

Ross kept their heads up and defended well. Henry Watkins got through the Hucclecote defence and got the first points on the board for Ross, successfully converted by Ben Pilot. Josh Lewis scored the second try for Ross, again converted by Ben Pilot.

Hucclecote came back with a fighting spirit and managed to get the last points on the board. The final score was Hucclecote 31 - 14 Ross.
