Hampshire Under 15's at Fordingbridge
John Mouland9 Jan 2011 - 08:36
A first for the Club! We were delighted to host two Hampshire County games this afternoon in glorious sunshine.
Even more delighted that our own Lewis Dennett, Ben Kirby and William Timms all took the field for Hampshire A against Sussex.
The Hampshire A team had a great attacking first half with Lewis at scrum half and Ben at flanker. Hampshire attacked well and were awarded a penalty, taking the score to 3-0. Then the Fordingbridge lads were involved in moving the ball out wide and a skillful pick up and pass by Ben Kirby led to the first try and the lead increased to 8-0. Will joined the squad at half time at scrum half and Lewis went to fly half. After a nail-biting 10 minutes camped on their own line, Hampshire went the offensive again and Ben Kirby, again out wide, went over for a great try. Solid defence to the final whistle meant that Hampshire kept a clean sheet and won the match 13-0.
A great sight to see - Ben Kirby scoring for Hampshire in front of his own home crowd. Thanks to everyone who supported, helped and organised the event - a real milestone for the club.
