Harlow Colts 17   Braintree Colts  7

In a close game Harlow battled hard in the first half and had to defend against a well drilled Braintree side. Just before the interval a Braintree attack floundered and centre Dan Hockley pounced on the loose ball to run sixty metres and score . The conversion by Skipper Barney Goodey was successful giving Harlow a 7-0 lead at the break.

In the second half the end to end play continued but again it was the young Rams who scored. Fly half Goodey rounded off a very good performance with a try and conversion followed by a 40 metre penalty goal.

To their credit the visitors kept trying and were rewarded with a try and conversion in the last minute.

Luton Under 14’s  24  Harlow Under 14’s  5

Harlow soon found themselves having to defend in this match against a well organised Luton side. The Harlow boys  tackled well to stay in the game but went 10-0 down before number 8 Dominic Lane scored their only  try. From a line out Lane crashed over to round off a well worked move. But the score was 12-5 to the home side at the interval.

The Junior Rams wee unable to beat the Luton defence again and the home side scored two more tries and added one conversion.

Harlow kept going to the end and Kurtis Knightley had another good game. We apologise to Kurtis for missing out his name as a try scorer last week  when  his team defeated Ignatians. It was his first try for the Club.

Harlow suffered an early set back when the visitors scored early in the first half but they responded well. The Junior Rams kept Colchester from adding to  their early success with sound defensive work. Although they trailed 0-7 at the interval they came back with three tries and a conversion , all their points coming in the second half.

The try scorers were Frazer Bleach, Tom Cunningham and Scott Whitby who were all making their debuts for Harlow. Other new players were Henry Massey and Dan Harvey. Whitby also put over two out of three converisons.

This was a good team performance by the newest Harlow youth Team who fully deserved their first win.
