SPRFC u13    45 - 5   Milton Keynes

At the kickoff, Milton Keynes were quickly up and Stockwood got down to the business of defending almost immediately.

The Poachers continued their winning ways at London Road on Sunday against Old Scouts in East Midlands league 1.  After a home win against Kettering and being awarded Young Team of the Year at the Luton Sports Network, the Poachers came into this game with a point to prove.  Last time these teams met was in the plate final a year ago and Old Scouts bullied a good win.

SPRFC u13    62 - 20    Finchley A&Bs

From the kick off, Finchley were quickly onto Stockwood, their forwards harassing the Stockwood pack into scrambling after the ball and in a very stop start first 5 minutes, Stockwood managed to push back to the halfway mark with Finchley continually getting the upper hand in the loose play.   Henry Hayward was quick off the mark to pick up a loose ball against the run of play and broke through the Finchley forwards, right wing and full back from just inside Stockwood’s half to power down the touchline before coming inside to touch down under the posts for Stockwood’s first try.

SPRFC u16   17 - 15   Enfield

As part of the celebrations of opening Allianz Park (new home of the Saracens, Premiership Rugby Champions), Stockwood U16’s were invited by Enfield Ignations to play at this fantastic venue. Due to time restraints, the game consisted of 20 minute halves.  Having had time to settle into the surroundings, we had a very quick warm up and chat prior to the start.

SPRFC u15 22 - 5 Kettering

East Midlands League 1 u 15's

Stockwood Park Poachers returned to rugby on Sunday and to winning ways.On a muddy pitch which Fran Cotton (mud man) would have been at home on, the Poachers showed another side to their game and kept the ball tight in the forwards and kept the game flowing on their terms.

10th February 2013

SPRFC u13    29 - 17    St Neots

Having updated the TomTom to the latest maps the evening before, and having printed the Google street map out and still managing to get lost on a very cold windy and miserable day was perhaps a warning sign that things would not go quite to plan on the pitch.

3rd February 2013

SPRFC u16   41 - 5   Higham

What with the dreadful weather since Christmas, getting training together was proving difficult let alone a game.  Having lost the Hemel and St Neots fixtures to the weather, a trip to Rushden just as the snow had melted proved just what the doctor ordered. Despite it being cold and wind it was dry and the pitch pretty good.
