It was not an easy draw for Farnham, but they dug deep and although they had not played together as a team they worked well together as a team to produce a number of opportunities for tries. Their defense was admirable and even at times when a try from the opposition seemed inevitable the Farnham boys produced some excellent work to prevent tries in the first 2 matches.
There was some good running from Nicholas Fernandez and Cameron Bellenger and some true grit ‘hanging on’ from Josh Hazell and tenacious tackling by Hamish and Louis.
Unfortunately a formidable side of Richmond proved too strong and in spite of some excellent play, particularly from the likes of Jake Dobinson and Thomas Welsh who bots had an excellent day of rugby, they were too strong. William Burbridge had a great day, in spite of being ill during the week, but sadly didn’t have enough energy left for the final match against Reeds which was the play off for the 2 teams in second place from the pool games.
