“Fun Day launches Mini’s new
season,
as Juniors declare ‘Open Season’ with first wins”
 Our
Minis teams marked the start of their season this weekend, with
the Club’s Fun Day, welcoming lots of new players who turned up to
try the exciting and fast paced game of mini-rugby.
The
Minis teams progress from Tag Rugby in the 7’s and 8’s age groups,
through to introducing contact rugby in the 9’s and 10’s ages, and
then expand the numbers of players & pitch sizes in the 11’s and
12 age groups, which develops players towards the full game, in
accordance with the RFU’s continuum. The Fun Day is a great
example of the expanding Minis and Juniors section’s commitment to
developing our rugby players of the future, as well as helping our
young hopefuls develop great personal and teamwork skills. The
hard work of the coaches and supporters at the club, who all
follow best practice and have earned the RFU’s Seal Of Approval
Accreditation for the club, has clearly paid off, in a great day
for the youngsters…
The
Under 13’s sponsored by J C Remedials, hosted Towcester in
their first game of the season, and had a fantastic start to their
game from the kick off, with excellent passing from the backs
enabling Mechin to go through to score the first try for Hinckley.
The game then settled down with most of the play in Towcester’s
half. Hinckley won the ball from a well-executed maul and passed
out to Machin who ran on and scored again for Hinckley with
conversion by Tuilagi. The game was now in Hinckley’s favour, and
with the forwards dominant in scrums and quick ball down the line,
it wasn’t long before Tuilagi was released to go over the line for
Hinckley’s third try. Half-time score Hinckley 17 Towcester 0.
In
the second half both teams made big changes with subs and the game
seemed to slow down a little but Hinckley still maintained good
possession and territory.
A
great first game of the season for Hinckley, with the lads putting
up a great show after stepping up to the junior section. Final
score Hinckley 17 -Towcester 0.
The
Under 14’s sponsored by Williams Recycling, travelled away
to Melton Mowbray, but overpowered their opponents, running in a
succession of scores, and took the opportunity to play their full
squad, gaining early season match experience.
