Burnham U12s on Tour at Diss

What a fun day at Sunny Diss with the Burnham Supporters in Full Worzel Dress!
The U12s end of Season Tour visited Diss for their final game of the season and what a entertaining game of Rugby by both sides!
The first half and Burnham on the end of quick try by Diss from a fine catch and run which caught Burnham by surprise. Straight from the kick off playing down hill Burnham put pressure on Diss and kept them in their own half with some breakaway runs and drives, Diss defended and won a counter ruck and tried to pass their way out of trouble only for a Burnham player to leap in the air with grace and flair to get the interception to go over and score there first try of the game.
This half continued with Burnham camped in Diss half and some fine rugby and passing for the winger to go over and score the next try. Another try came from a powerful run and Diss could not deal with the pace and strength. Diss hit back with another try with fine passing and break through the centre to go over. Burnham continued to play the passing game with the ball moving to centre to go over again to finish of a fine move.
1st half 10-20

2nd half kicked off and Diss started the game aggressively and fought to gain territory and with a driving maul and quick ball scored another try. Game on and Burnham moved to another level and rallied to drive up through the middle with the backs passing and switching and eventually popped the ball to a forward to go over in the corner.

Diss kicked off and Burnham's forward caught and ran up the field to be superbly tackled by Diss player and won the ball from the ruck to pass to centre who burst through to score. This was now fine even contest with both sides playing great Rugby, Burnham stole a great ball and the scrumhalf kicked up field and chased along with some great support, and Burnham were first to the ball and popped the ball through a couple of hands to score. By now the Supporters were cheering both sides for such a brilliant display of Rugby from both teams.
