Match Report
Stowe School Boys-U18B vs  Oundle School
On: Saturday, 16 Nov 2024
Venue: Away

After a short but sharp warm up with Will Otter and the returning Bear Hewlett leading the group, we launched into some promising early exchanges. Stowe scored first playing into the wind and up the slope, but Oundle hit back shortly after. Stowe tried some route 1 carries and found we were getting some forward momentum, but probably more significantly we were narrowing their defence. When we got the ball out to the backs we looked dangerous and the wingers benefited from this work with two tries for Sam Percy, and one for Josh Kingston and Leyton Hewitt. Bear brought his usual flair at fly half and scored a nice solo try as well as distributing the ball well to get around the Oundle backs. The forwards had a solid afternoon with dominance in the lineout and the scrum. They carried well, Zac Julian again to the fore and Jack Buckingham added his usual full commitment to everything did. The Lions bars went to Lucan Forster in the backs and the irrepressible Will Otter. An enjoyable match with some stunning phases of play, particularly the final try!
