For various reasons the intended tour to Wales as been changed. We are now destined for Brean Sands, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. There is an organised event which is run by Gullivers sports tours. Their weblink is http://www.gulliversports.co.uk/page.asp?section=00010001001200040004
The dates are now May 4th-7th. The May day bank holiday weekend. The accommadation is at Pontins Brean Sands. Their weblink is http://www.pontins.com/centres/breansands/accomm.php
Sadly, because we are late booking this and we were lucky getting a cancellation space. We need everyone who wishes to go, to place a booking deposit of £25 per person by Tuesday October 3rd. Please make cheques payable to 'Brentwood rugby Club Under 13s' Nigel Steer and Bryn Williams will collect these payments. You must also specify your preferred choice of accommodation layout and banding. We apoligise if this urgent payment causes concern. If any parents do have concerns over paying the deposit so promptly, please let us know. The total cost per person will vary depending how many share what type of accommodation. Although it will be approx. £95-105 per person. The balance is then due the end of February.
These costs quoted do not include coach travel from Brentwood to Burnham-on-Sea. There will be an additional cost for the coach (we will try to keep this to a minimum). All tourists are expected to travel by coach including parents. It will be deemed anti-social if you do not.
There will be a total of twelve U13 teams competeing with two pools of six teams. Three games saturday and two games sunday. Plus a final for 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th.
It should be a great event for them to compete in. The standard of rugby is good. Please try to make the effort for them to go. We hope every player and his parents and siblings will go.
Thank you

Brentwood vs Woodford RFC 24th September
Match Report: Sunday 24th September
Kick-Off: 12.00
Venue: Brentwood
Brentwood vs. Woodford RFC
Brentwood 29
Woodford 7
The day was surprisingly very warm and as all the boys arrived it didn’t really seem like this Sunday was going to be a big deal. As I stood from the side line watching them warm-up I noticed a slight change in their well…nerves! As the clock was ticking on getting closer and closer to kick-off the boys seemed to get quieter and quieter! Usually they will take a chance with the coaches and have a laugh here and muck around there but not on Sunday.
The tossup went to Woodford and they decided to kick down pitch. The first few minutes weren’t very crucial as the ball didn’t really seemed to move very far as it went from one team to another. Both teams struggled with the scrum a bit…lets just say it was due to nerves (but by the end of the game it got much better)!
After all the team finally drove the ball towards our posts Adriaan took the ball and drove it forward which is where Bobby stepped in…and thanks to his good dodging the first try was scored within 8minutes into the game. Andy got the conversion which got the score up to 7-0 to Brentwood.
There was a really memorably line done by the boys without one mistake and even the dad’s made comments at the side line that it really was a good line! Well done!! Chris took over from the line but unfortunately dropped the ball and kicked it off. Nice work though it would have been a great try! Thanks to such great team work Bobby scored again! Unfortunately Andy the conversion was missed which got the score to 12-0.
After our two tries and a conversion Woodford got their first try and conversion taking the score to 12-7 still to Brentwood.
There were various injuries and replacements…the boys at the side line commented ‘They are taking down our players!’ It did seem like that at the time but I think it was just that few moments that at least two players got injured.
-HALF TIME-
The game was getting tenser now and everyone seemed more interested what was going on the field instead of the side unlike in the beginning of the game. Matthew drove the ball forward and then passed to Bobby who once again got a try for Brentwood with a conversion. This brought the score to 19-7.
Another comments made by the dad’s that the driving was really good and that the boys are working well together.
Before a few minutes where over…when I looked up again Bobby scored yet another try and the conversion was done by Rory.
This brought the score to 24-7 to Brentwood.
The ball was thrown in a few minutes later but Ollie missed the jump but made up for it really well by getting right in the in the tackling.
Jamie got the throw in from Woodford…nice work.
After this the time was practically over and things happened really fast…Cameron did some really good tackling to prevent the opposition from scoring!
The final score was 29-7 to Brentwood and it was a really good game.
It was the first game and it really was a good kick off to the new season!
