Under 7/8’s Pershore V's Tewkesbury

Pershore Pirates 6 - 3 Tewkesbury

A cold frosty morning on a hard pitch Pershore beat Tewkesbury 6 - 3, Tewkesbury worked hard but Pershore dominated for most of the match.

Pershore Pirates 5 - 7 Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury had a big lead in the first half, in the second Pershore fought hard to come back. Both sides played some great rugby, running with the ball and great tackling. A hard fought match. Great to see so many parents on the touchlines cheering both sides.

Under 10s Pershore V's Evesham & Tewkesbury

Pershore welcomed Evesham and Tewkesbury to Piddle park on a frosty yet sunny Sunday morning. Both sides brought with them a strong vocal following.

First up were Evesham, who were slow to start. Pershore were a stronger side and took an early lead. With some good individual performances, Pershore lead by three tries to nil at half time.
The second half was a different story. Evesham re-grouped and played much better rugby, scoring two tries relatively easily, leaving Pershore shell shocked. As the half wore on though, Pershore managed to re-group and contain Evesham’s more organised attacking play. As the game was drawing to a close, Pershore managed to score a final late try to finish the game off, winning 4 tries to two.

Pershore’s second match was an altogether different story. Against a side whom they had comfortably beaten earlier in the season, Pershore found a much stronger, more organised Tewkesbury side. They were quickly into their stride, scoring an early try. Soon after, Tewkesbury scored a second, and could easily have had two more, but for some brave defending by Pershore.
The second half saw a much more even game, with Pershore finally making some headway against some strong Tewkesbury tackling. Their hard work bore fruit with a consolation try towards the end. This was quickly cancelled out, however, by Tewkesbury’s third and final try, and they ran out comfortable winners, three tries to one.
