Feltre vs Newbury Under 14 Rugby Match


On Saturday morning Stuart and I went with Rod and Garry and Kath from the Newbury Twin Town Association, to watch the under 14 rugby match between the Newbury and Feltre teams at Newbury Rugby Club.


I have to confess this is the first rugby match I have ever watched, but it was consistently entertaining, and the teams were very evenly matched. The final score was 10 all; two tries to each team. Feltre scored a try in the final minutes, and the lad who took the kick narrowly missed, so it was extremely close. The Feltre team stayed with the families of Newbury team members, and spent Sunday visiting London. The Newbury team will make a return visit next year.
After the match I presented a shield to the Feltre coach, and we all had a hot meal.
