The Under 14s tour to Holland

The Under 14s tour to HollandThe Under 14s tour to Holland

At 10am on Saturday the 29th March the U14s boarded the coach and embarked on their much anticipated tour to the Netherlands where they played a friendly against Eemland Rugby Club and then on Sunday the 31st March played in the Hilversum International Rugby Festival. 

The Saturday match was played against the Eemland U15s/U16s as they didn't have an U14s team available. A tough game, against a very big team, ended up with a very creditable win to the Wanderers. This was followed with some great hospitality from our hosts and a presentation in the clubhouse.

Sunday saw the team take part in the Hilversum Tournament. Some very competitive rugby was on show from teams from around Europe. After a very successful group phase the boys made it through to the final where they played Newbridge from Wales. A very physical game ensued with the Wanderers narrowly missing out on the silverware.

A successful tour all round means the U15s will again be travelling overseas next season and hoping to take another year group with them.

A huge thank you needs to go out to EKC, DDS Group, TW Services and to all of those who helped with the amazing fundraising efforts.
