Cinderford U 14s ..15 V Keynsham U 15s ..5

Cinderford U14s overcame a spirited Keynsham side 15 – 5 in a mud fest the Bridge ground , with puddles all over the pitch Keynsham started well with their fullback making a superb 60 yard break only a great tackle by Aj Jenkins kept him out , the game developed quickly into a forward battle with the Foresters just edging the contest , flanker Matt Allcock had a great game tackling and working hard  to turn over a lot of the oppositions ball , but despite  his best efforts Keynsham  scored first with their winger running through  and around several weak tackles to score .The front five  of Morgan , Turley and Hopkins , with locks Johnson and Hopwood working tirelessly to push Keysham off most scrums giving a good platform for attack

Playing down the slope Cinderford started well with good runs from wingers Skelton and Pearson,  The forward were going well with Jordan Hopwood outstanding in the rucks , Flanker Kemp left the field with a blood injury allowing Harry Johnson to move from Centre to back row , he was soon involved making a good turn over that allowed No8 Jack Shields to bundle his way over .Keysham rallied well trying to use the wind to pin the Foresters back , fullback Jenkins fielded everything that was kicked his way and ran the ball back making  huge ground on every occasion in a superb all round display ..The pressure was kept on the visitors when rangy lock March powered over to take the lead , The Keynsham lads battled back with  some good forward play  however   an incident at the ruck saw Cinderford prop Rhys Hopkins and the Keynsham flanker take 10 minutes in the sin bin

From a long kick down field by fly half Charlie Davis Cinderford chased hard and turned the ball over ,  a good move off the scrum put centre Robson Skipsey over in the corner . with 15 minutes to go replacement winger Matt Wilce was called up to make two try saving tackles , taking down players twice his size  with text book tackles …  , it was good to see some of the boys returning from injury to take part and strengthen the side over the coming week .

The game was excellently refereed by Charlie Gayther
