Sidmouth Under-11s were 10-4 winners when they met Chipping Sodbury in a hastily arranged friendly encounter at The Blackmore, writes Ross Fisher.

The Sidmouth youngsters played some fine rugby and much of the contest was played in the opposition half!

Spirited work at the breakdown enabled quick ball which released the nimble footed and pacey Will Boulton to score several tries.

There were also tries scored by Ryan Cousins, Louis Corneck and Owen Looms.

The Roberts’ twins, Charlie and Freddie, impressed and are continuing to show game-by-game improvement.

Will Cotterill, Ryan Cousins and Ollie Mitchell all showed impressive ball carrying through the middle while Ben Fisher served up plenty of accurate passing from the breakdown and Ollie Bond was another to show good carrying skills.

It was certainly a committed performance from everyone involved and augers well for the future of this young team.
