Match Report - Hereford - 2010
Andover U13s, sponsored by Graham & Co, welcomed tourists Hereford U13s to a gloriously sunny Goodship Ground on Saturday. The match was a belter, with each team giving their all throughout the match. Andover opened the scoring after only 25 seconds after Mathew Leese caught the kick off, fed Ed Scobie who in turn released Max Romer-Lee who blazed a trail through the visitors defence to score and add the conversion. Andover scored again after 10 minutes when George Roscoe went over following some sustained Andover pressure. Hereford then scored a try when their outstanding player of the game speed half of the length of the pitch on the counter attack. However Charlie Nish replied for the home team with an intelligent pick and drive from a ruck close to the opponents try line.
