West Norfolk sides shine at Norwich festival

Norwich Rugby Club hosted an action-packed day of rugby with the annual county youth 10s tournament.

Two U14 teams from West Norfolk Rugby Club, sponsored by JBC Roofing, took part and put on a prominent display of an expanding squad with their new summer signings.

West Norfolk's two sides, the Sharks and the Wolves, each competed in four 15-minute matches against teams from Holt, Beccles, Crusaders, Fakenham and hosts Norwich.

The Sharks went head-to-head with Norwich and controlled the game from an explosive start and the hosts respectively fought back and snatched a brace just before the final whistle, which ended with West winning 6-2.

Wolves from West were up next to face Norwich and capitalised on the home team’s previous defeat and went all out on the offensive finishing with an impressive 9-0 win.

Strong performances from both of West’s teams all day with the Sharks only conceding seven tries and the Wolves three tries across all matches.

West U14s were victorious and were very well supported by the team’s proud travelling fans.

Try scorers for the two West Norfolk sides were: Kody Somerton (4), Jack Godfrey-Legget (5), William Lloyd, Ethan Kilian (3), Kelvin Jasionis, Thomas Hardy, Ben Taylor-Bunting (3) Ash Thompson, Ruairi Fitzgerald, Isaac Robinson, Theo Hobbs (3), Harry Martin (4), Simon Rodrigues (2), Harry Dickerson, Archie Thomson (3).

The team would like to thank this season’s match shirt sponsor, JBC Roofing.
