Burnham Under 9's visited Basildon and played as a team.


Burnham under 9's visited Basildon today, as Basildon had an under strength team they borrowed a few of Basildon’s under 10's who did not have a game today, this added speed and experience to their side.

After a short warm up started a match split into three 10 minute periods.

In the first period both teams came out blazing and showing great defensive play, the pitch was narrow so discipline was required by both teams to keep to from going into touch. However tough tackling by both teams often took opponents into touch creating turnovers. The first period was a close affair ending 1:3 to Burnham.

The second period was just as tough as the first period but Burnham Managed to gain the upper hand with some great driving, passing wide to extend their lead 3:9.

The final third was taking its toll on both teams with tackles getting wilder and balls being dropped, Basildon took the upper hand in the final period taking advantage of dropped balls and tackling into touch. 8:12.

Burnham Tries scored by Patrick Smyth 5, Thomas Griffin 3, Joe Banks 2, Thomas Courts 2. Man of the match went to George Spring for some great team and support play.
