Brentwood Under 7s turned in four very creditable performances
in the Essex Festival. Drawn in a tough group they were caught
cold early on by hosts Braintree "A" and were 2-0 down
but battled back only to be edged out 4-3. Next were eventual
group winners Upminster and in a tremendous game of running rugby
were unlucky to lose 6-5 with unclear pitch markings playing a
part in Brentwood not getting an equalising score. The team were
working well and in their final game, they came back from 2-0
down to beat Chelmsford 7-5. Finishing third in the group meant
a semi-final place in the Bowl competition and after an extremely
long delay between games were edged out 2-1 by Maldon after having
a late "score" ruled out. The boys and the support were
a credit to Brentwood RFC and they should be rightfully proud
of the continuous improvement they are making this season.
