Finchley U7s tour at Allianz Park

On a very wet and cold Saturday 8 intrepid Finchley boys and their brave and supportive parents travelled to the Allianz stadium for an under 7’s rugby extravaganza. The day started soggy, but the boys were in typical high spirits. Between wrapping up warm and drying off sodden gloves and socks the boys demonstrated their growing understanding of the rules and tactics. Whilst the conditions made it difficult for the boys to maintain their intensity they played some scintillating rugby at times, both in defence and attack. As the focus of this tournament was the Saracens core values the scores and results of our three games weren’t recorded instead they focused on concepts like honesty and teamwork. Throughout the day the boys played with great effort, honesty and where generally a great credit to our club. Alban, Alessandro, James R, James M, Max, Munro, Oscar and Rory had a great tournament and not only demonstrated how much they have learnt over the last few weeks, but were also a real pleasure for Paul and me to coach.
