It was BUSY BUSY BUSY on Sunday, with seven junior teams in action, with some excellent performances and results across the board. Paul Dawson, Head Coach of the Academy, gave particular praise to the Under 17s, who took a huge step forward in terms of performance, despite going down to a strong Canterbury RFC side. The Under 16s also progressed to the next round of the Kent Cup, beating Dunstonians RFC 28-5 away from home.
A big thank you to all mini and junior teams who were at the Paddock on Sunday and respected the two minutes silence in honour of our fallen servicemen and women – it is always a very poignant moment and we thank you for showing such respect.
Congratulations to the Under 15 Girls, who are the inaugural Quinn Estates Mighty Oaks Juniors of the Week, as chosen by our Head of Junior Rugby, Danny Jones following their performance in the National Cup against Aylesford RFC! Well done girls! Danny will be picking a team each week, so make sure you get your scores in to him as soon as possible!
