Upper Clapton 5 South Woodham Ferrers 12
(Junior Rugby U13s)

WITH five minutes to go until half time, and having spent most of the period in possession of the ball, the Woodham scored a try and made the conversion.

Clapton boys carried on the second half just like the first and were rewarded with a try by Alex.

Play went back and forth for a while with Ferrers scoring another five points.

This prompted Clapton to cross the try line twice but each time they were held up before achieving a touchdown.

Ferrers succeeded in passing the ball back over their own try line three times and each time just managing to touch it down.
