Medway U15 girls 27 Sevenoaks 14 29 September 2021

On a day when there was a fuel crisis in the country unfortunately the girls ran out of gas! 

In the opening game of the season Medway started well and attacked the Sevenoaks defence immediately putting them on the back foot. Although Oaks kept them at bay - just (!) with Jaime and Erin putting in cover tackles, the girls were trapped inside their own 22 and kept kicking into a headwind, presenting possession back to the home side.  Medway soon thought they'd scored but the ball was not touched down over the line and Sevenoaks cleared their lines well.  Libby then rallied Oaks with a good counter ruck and there were some good tear-ups in the middle of the pitch with Libby and then Niamh marshalling with a couple of good tackles. Then, building momentum, Niamh broke through the lines before offloading well to Imogen in good support who scored under the posts with Niamh then slotting home the conversion.  It wasn’t long before the home side levelled up the scores though with a busy Imogen tackling their scorer in vain on the line. Niamh then made an almost identical 20 metre run to earlier, this time evading the home defence and not needing to offload and she then converted her own try! Half time came and the list of casualties started piling up with Anne-Marie back off again after 5 minutes of testing out her injured elbow, Eleanor suffering concussion, Jaime with a gashed knee and Imogen not 100% with a hamstring strain although she was full of her usual bursts from the 9 position and you wouldn’t have noticed!

In the second half Medway started easing away from an exhausted Sevenoaks team whose already low numbers were further depleted and Oaks unfortunately did not manage to add to add to their 14 first half points tally. There was some great interplay going forwards at times and good hands though – one such attack used the whole width of the pitch from right to left and back again and Oaks gained 70 odd yards.  Special shout-outs too to the younger girls Georgia and Valentina for some good linking up in midfield and not forgetting Naimh who not only assisted and scored, but put in some smashing tackles and scored with the boot! There were other good tackles from the girls throughout and they really put up a good fight - Libby looks like a flanker in waiting if ever I saw one and Erin and Jaime both did well from the wings too both in attack and defence. 

The match finished 27-14 to the home team who ultimately deserved the win as dominated most of the match making the most of their numerical advantage.  The forwards should all take a bow too as played their part in an exhausting match with no subs but made it a great spectacle to watch on a bone dry big pitch. Shout out to Amelia also for some great refereeing in the second half and for getting the girls warmed up! One learning point is the need to quickly get into support in defence and attack and the counter rucking needs to be more aggressive, i.e. try to force the issue rather that reacting when the opposing team join the rucks.  

Unfortunately the in-form Naimh broke her arm and we all wish her a speedy recovery. The girls showed tremendous team spirit and heart and as well as all the injuries many of them had bruised and shredded knees. Well done all and hope you all enjoyed the curry - I did!

Sunday May 2nd 2021 Round Robin At Colfes

Girls Round-Robin at Old Colfeians

U13s, U15s & U18s went, played teams from Colfes, Beccahamians, Blackheath – mixed results, but they all had a good time and some fantastic performances. Especially great to be back playing properly again after so long!

U15 Girls Round-Robin at Old Colfeians 


On a sunny and fresh early May afternoon the U15 girls played a series of round-robin matches on a bone-dry pitch.

Sevenoaks 2 Old Beccs 2 (non-contact) 

In the opening "ready for rugby" game against Old Beccs things started slowly as both teams got to grips with the both-hands-around-the-waist and offload (touch) rules before Beccs took the lead down the right. Charlotte B then evened things up by finishing well through the inside right channel. The match finished all square following good work by Jaime down the right in gaining yards before feeding Charlotte B for her second to cancel out a Beccs try again down the right. 

 

Dart/Old Colfeians 2 Sevenoaks 3 (non-contact)

 

In the next game of touch rugby the opposition built up an early head of steam as their star player inspired them to a 2-0 lead with both scores down the middle. Although they deserved the lead  there was some questionable yard-gains from the key player as her "momentum" always ensured that she took an age to hit the deck often a full 10 yards ahead of the correct spot following the refs call!  An eagle eyed Erin then sniffed out a great interception to sprint home from 30 yards despite a determined lone defensive chaser. In almost a carbon copy of her first Erin intercepted again but this time fed Charlotte B on the try line who had followed up in good support. The winning try was a real team effort with Anne-Marie touching it home a few yards from the line as the ball was worked well through the hands of most of the team! 

 

Sevenoaks 4 Old Beccs 3 

 

Again Sevenoaks went 1-0 down early doors as their big player powered through the middle taking out a few defenders and laying it on a plate. An always lively Libby was then unlucky to not break through on the left side before an opportunist Faye ran it home well on the right blindside. Imogen then put Oaks in the lead with some good running this time down the left blindside. A warm up tackle in the final third from Anne-Marie created a turnover for Imogen to sprint home to make it 3-1.  Anne-Marie then nailed their star player in trademark fashion near the try line when she was going full throttle and a certain score looked on the cards! To her credit the big girl soon dusted herself down and growled before reducing the deficit to 3-2! Charlotte B then added a fourth from close in before Beccs' big player again got in from close in for a consolation.  

Dart/Old Colfeians 2 Sevenoaks 1 

 

In the final game of the day a weary and depleted Oaks team lost 2-1 but were a bit unlucky as Charlotte W looked harshly ajudged to not have touched the ball home in the tackle on the left byeline after a good run. The opponents star player made the most of the space involving herself in their 2 tries and Imogen salvaged things sniffing out some space after a turnover. The match was abondoned at half time due to injuries and knocks to most of the Oaks side!

 

There was some great moments today and thanks to all the girls and the coaching staff for putting on some much needed entertainment at the end of a difficult season with zero match time and endless lockdowns. There were only a couple of things to work on: 1) Communication on the pitch - some good kicks from Imogen would have been even better if a quick signal or codeword had gone to the wingers and linked to this there were also a couple of missed overlaps. 2) Try and support the ball carrier where possible and also get quicker support into the rucks. This is all easy for me to say from the sidelines and these are small tweaks only - this team have loads of talent and great team spirit - often coming from behind in games - and a big well done to Maddie and all the other forwards for helping out the other teams struggling for numbers. The pitch was hard and there were some battered bodies and aches and pains at the close and I think Oaks were down to 8 players v 9 in the last game! Roll on next season!  

U18s - ready to join with hosts, Old Colfeians to take on the opposition!

Waterfall Final between Ashford, Old Colfeians and Sevenoaks Oaks U13 Girls are crowned Champions of Kent

Sevenoaks 3-1 Colfeians  

 

On a fairly narrow and longish pitch which was boggy after another night of rainfall game one was always likely to be a real test against opposition who had outclassed Oaks at the opening Kent Waterfall fixture and so it proved in a real toe-to-toe contest.  The girls really delivered what had been worked on in training and it was particularly pleasing to see them win the rucking contest against opposition that had dominated them in this aspect at Folkestone.  Support play was excellent too and the result was well deserved.  There was no player on the pitch not doing a job which as we all know is the main ethos of rugby!

 

Libby, Georgia and Niamh all scored tries to take the game 3-1 which showed real character especially after going one down early doors and this great result took the girls into the final to see who would be crowned champions of Kent.

 

Sevenoaks 6 Ashford 2

 

The final kicked off after a long wait of a couple of hours or so against Ashford who had dispatched Old Colfeians relatively comfortably.  After five anxious minutes Ashford took the lead after pouncing on a loose ball on the left.  Erin nearly broke through the lines to equalise and then Maddie tantalisingly got to within 5 yards of the line before being illegally blocked and despite a penalty try looking to be the correct decision she bagged her first of the final anyway from the resulting penalty. Just before the close of the half Maddie bagged a second again from an Oaks penalty. In the second half Niamh showed Oaks intention with a fierce tackle that bundled the Ashford player into touch just shy of the line. A determined and hard running Maddie then bagged her hatrick again being fed by Vivian playing 9 and again from a penalty – what a performer and hopefully her dad will reward these 3 tries! Ashford then came back into it with a well worked team move and despite another fierce tackle this time from Anne-Marie right on her own try line the Ashford player just managed to touch down to make it 3-2. Jaime then added two tries in quick succession down the right wing running it home well and again there was no stopping her – well done! Erin, not to be outdone, then found a great angle to run it home well in trademark style to take the final 6-2 against battered and bruised yet very spirited opposition!

 

Congratulations to all of the squad and all of the coaches and all those that played today: Jaime, Erin, Vivian, Georgia, Maddy, Libby. Scarlet Imogen, Chloe, Niamh, Anne-Marie, Grace, Heidi and Eleanor. It has been a real pleasure to watch the team evolve this year – not only are they a friendly and inclusive group they can really play when it matters! CHAMPIONS.

U15 Matches at Beckenham 19/01/20

It was a bright, sunny and calm Winter's morning for the U15 Girls'
matches at Beckenham RFC.
There was a good turnout and the girls were in high spirits as they 
poured out onto the pitch.

Due to the numbers, it was decided that there would be three short matches.

The first was between Tunbridge Wells and Beckenham. 
There was a strong start by Beckenham who dominated most of the match. 
Tunbridge Wells put up a good fight, but the home team had a couple
of really fast players, who managed to take advantage and went on to score
four tries, with no score from the visitors. Score 19 - 0

The second match was between Sevenoaks and Beckenham. Sevenoaks had a strong opening and looked promising with some great passes and steals. However, Beckenham came back and managed to score a try and conversion and Sevenoaks failed to score. Score 7 - 0

The final match was Sevenoaks v Tunbridge Wells with a mix of Beckenham players on each side. This was a lively match with excellent tackling and scrums from both sides.
Eventually, Sevenoaks managed to score a try in the second half, followed by a great conversion by Izzy Jaques, whose kick launched the ball against the top of the right hand post deflecting between the two posts to success. Score 7 - 0 to the Sevenoaks mixed team.

There was the usual good cameraderie between players in all the teams, with a celebratory arch formed to congratulate the teams on some great rugby.

8 December 2019 U13 Friendly Sevenoaks v Old Colfeians (Away)

Another cold, blustery (albeit dry) Sunday, the U13’s were presented with an immediate opportunity to avenge last week’s only defeat in the Kent Waterfall tournament with a friendly against Old Colfeians played on the OC’s First team pitch. And how they rose to this challenge! 

 

Pre Match Training

The girls joined the Old Colfeians U18 and U13 for a pre-match warm up, very much needed as the early sunshine had disappeared and the wind strong enough to blow the posts backwards! It was also great to see Vicky Fleetwood (England / Saracens RFC) leading elements of the warm up.  

 

1st Half 

OC’s were made up of a combination of OC’s and Dartford Valley girls. Despite this and being at Home, Oaks had more players so Georgia switched to start on the opposition.

Oaks made a good start. First Imogen ran strongly down the right wing, before the ball was switched to the left with Erin setting off towards half way only for a knock on in the tackle to hand possession to OC’s.

Honours at the first scrum went to Oaks taking the ball against an OC put in. However, another handling error handed possession back to OC. With this possession, OC’s were able to build early pressure but, Oaks showed some great defence and, just when OC’s appeared certain to score, Libby managed to push the OC player into touch.

Maddie then ran strongly out of defence but, excellent rucking from OC allowed them to regain possession and eventually their pressure resulted in the first try of the game.

However, Oaks responded well to this and, growing in confidence, started to put together some good attacking plays. Vivian, who had a couple of great runs and showed real pace, came closest to equalising in the first half running half the length of the pitch only to be pushed into touch as the try line beckoned! Better luck next week Vivian.

Just before the end of the first half, there was confusion amongst the spectators as Jamie (Oaks captain) left her wing to speak to the referee just as the OC’s were about to put in at a scrum. However, the reasoning soon became clear, as Georgia was told to switch sides (turns out OC’s had been playing with an extra player!).  

 

2nd Half

Libby caught the ball from the kick off, passing to Grace who powered forward.  This was followed by a strong run from Eleanor only for her pass to be intercepted by an offside OC player. From the proceeding penalty, Heidi set off right into the middle of the opposition. Undeterred by the number of OC players in front of her, she appeared to simply skip over the attempted tackles, running clear to score the equaliser!

Oaks kicked the restart but, a broken follow up allowed OC’s to slip the ball around the Oaks challengers and a scorching run from the OC winger put them in the lead again.

A strong kick off by OC’s saw the ball bouncing dangerously toward the Oaks try line but, calm under pressure, Imogen set off out of defence at pace and with the help of some deft side steps, took the ball up to half way. The ball was recycled well but, OC regained possession through strong rucking at the next breakdown and it looked as this would nullify Oaks attempts to get the equaliser.

Then came the key moment of the game. Driving clean over the ball and with no opposition players now contesting the ball, Libby picked it up and sprinted towards the OC try line, powering over despite the attention of several OC players, to equalise again for Oaks! 

 

Overall Thoughts

Taking heed of the advice from their coaches last week, Oaks pressure in defence was the key difference today. There were some particularly strong individual performances from Libby, Imogen, Eleanor and Chloe but, it was the collective effort of the team that paid real dividends, disrupting the OC’s game plan. It was also good to see Oaks rucking, a key facet of OC’s game, improve throughout the game.

Well done also to Jamie. Great to see her growing into the captain’s role. After getting the girls into a team huddle at the start, she spoke to the ref to clarify his interpretation of the ruck and later pointed out the numbers error.  

Oaks were well worth the draw, an excellent bounce back from last week (and perhaps even a moral victory given the player imbalance in the first half). Well done girls!

1 December 2019 U13 Kent Waterfall at Folkestone RFC


On a cold and blustery day the U13 girls Kent Waterfall competition kicked off on an elevated pitch in a picturesque spot overlooked by rolling hills.  

Sevenoaks 5 Medway 0 

In the opening game a depleted Medway were loaned three Oaks players in the first half and two players in the second half so well done to all the players who switched as this won’t have been easy! Libby opened the scoring on the left where there was a big overlap and shortly after Erin doubled the lead on the opposite side. Eleanor then rampaged through on the right byeline despite being tackled by Heidi (one of the players loaned to Medway) to take the first half 3-0. In the second Heidi who was now back on the Oaks side finished off a good move running it home well before Erin then added the fifth from similar range to seal a comfortable win. 

Old Colfeians 4 Sevenoaks 1 

There was some real intensity to this game as two top teams went toe to toe. OC’s started on the front foot and Oaks were doing magnificently well to hold off wave after wave of attack until OCs got through the lines. The second try was a little easier after a great run by OCs’ star player who was full of running all day and a third try soon followed again with ease as OCs took the half 3-0. Oaks battled back well in the second half as Imogen made a fast break from deep on the left but, not to be outdone, OCs star player then rampaged through again  to seal the game 4-1.

It was great to see a good comeback in the second half which Oaks drew 1-1 but there is no denying that OCs deserved this win playing the conditions well with short accurate passing and enjoying a good platform by winning the lion’s share of the rucks.   

Sevenoaks 4 Old Aleynians 0

In match three Oaks returned to winning ways as Erin ran it home with speed and purpose on the left before she added another shortly after - this time down the right! Imogen then herself found a gap down the left and then a great step fooled the Old A’s defence before she ran it home. Anne-Marie then smashed one of OA’s bigger players with a thumping tackle on the left touchline and although she was on the floor for a couple of minutes the OA player eventually got back up on her feet.  Naimh also bundled the opposition into touch on at least two occasions – great strength! Imogen then sniffed out a loose ball expertly in a breakaway and sped to the line to take the game 4-0.

Sevenoaks 5 Baa Baas 1 

In the final game Oaks had lots of territory but there was not enough passing on show to take advantage as at least two overlaps were there for the taking. Imogen then sniffed out the first after a Grace and Maddie combo stole the ball in a ruck and she powered over the line on the blindside. Niamh then added the second from close in with a good step near the line and Erin then fed Eleanor to make it 3-0. Imogen and Erin then added two further scores on the left before the Baa Baas got a consolation to end the game 5-1.

All the girls played a great part today and a shout out in particular to Jaime for being a vocal captain, Libby for some back-row-esque tackles in the midfield and Georgia and her mum for some more great cakes! Well done to all the coaches too.

17 November U13 Tri-Team Friendly at Old Beccs

On a long strip of a pitch Oaks played some great rugby winning two back-to-back games at Old Beccs.

Sevenoaks 10 OAs/Beckenham Baa Baas 1

Sevenoaks started the first game on the front foot and almost immediately a strong run from Eleanor broke the deadlock.  Maddy then got try number two after some good passing then Jaime touched down from close range shortly after before a well-executed turnover led to Erin scoring try number four.  Maddy then got her second of the day running it home from a tap penalty before a clinical Erin scored another three tries (!) and Oaks sealed the half (8-0) with the last score down the right following a good sidestep. In the second half Oaks (weakened by a Maddy injury which she managed to shake off) took a bit of breather but still managed to run in two tries, first Imogen down the right channel and finally Vivian in the opposite corner with the OAs/Beckenham Baa Baas getting a consolation to make the final score 10-1.

Old Beccs 4 Sevenoaks 11

In the second game Jaime scored the opener running it home strongly and shortly after Eleanor doubled the lead with another good run from 20 yards before the home side scored their first after a good drive from close range. Libby then scored the try of the day speeding down the left flank before changing direction and wrong footing the home defence following a great step(!) and then Jaime and Erin added to their tallies with tries four and five. Beccs then scored their second after waves and waves of attack (and it was great to see some committed tackling and defence from Oaks despite this) before Libby increased the lead. Anne-Marie then broke through the lines only to be pulled up for a handoff* and then told off for smirking by the rather picky ref! Maddy, Libby, Vivian and Niamh (the latter with two strong scores from close range) took Oaks’ tally to an impressive 11 before the home side scored two consolations - one tap and run from a penalty and an arguable *late score at the death to leave the final score 11-4 to Oaks. 

 

Honourable shout-outs to Imogen in the backs who assisted a good number of tries and Georgia who did some very good driving.

*There was a strong suspicion that the ref seemed to be looking to even things up near the end!

 Well done to every one of the girls – a great watch and a fantastic team effort with forwards and backs all scoring tries – there was some decent defending on show and the Old Beccs game was particularly impressive as they were a step above the Baa Baas team yet still outclassed.  Apparently both opposition coaches and the ref congratulated Phil for the performances and well done to Phil for coaching and refereeing the final game when everybody scarpered!

3RD NOVEMBER MATCH VS DORKING - DORKING 3 SEVENOAKS 8!!

On a sunny autumnal morning the U13 girls kicked off their first match of the season away at Dorking.  With 4 quarters played over 40 minutes there was some high quality rugby on show with each girl assigned a position in this 12-a-side match on a wide pitch.      

The game started off with the home side on the front foot and it seemed that Dorking’s bigger unit would overpower Oaks until Imogen broke the deadlock running it home well. Anne-Marie then secured her try bonus (!) by easing it in from the wing and it wasn’t’ long until Erin added number 3. Dorking then attacked and their player seemed to be home and hosed when she dropped it over the line but the try was allowed somewhat dubiously! Erin who was full of strong running from the left wing all day added the fourth before 2 quickfire tries followed – first when Imogen ran in well after being fed by Libbie and then when Imogen then returned the favour to Imogen after the restart. Maddie and Heidi put the icing on the cake with well taken tries to take the tally to 8 (both from close range) and although the home side managed 2 consolation efforts - one from their start player from deep - this was an outstanding display. 

Apologies that I only included the actual tries as every one of the girls played their part in a great team effort – with a particular shout out to Niamh for some crunching tackles and Vivien for playing her part (with touch rules due to being a year below the age group) too. The forwards put in a battling display against some big girls and this was great stuff to watch. Well done all!

6th October U13s Ashford Fun And Games

On an overcast day the U13 girls arrived at Ashford and started some training drills in mixed sessions with a decent number of girls from other local clubs. Shortly after the girls split into teams for some full-blooded games and a well represented U13 contingent from Oaks (I counted 6) were joined by a few players from other clubs to play back-to-back games against other mixed teams. The girls did well and managed to win both of their games and some good rugby was on show in both defence and attack. Following this the girls were put through their paces on a rugby themed assault course although Anne-Marie did say that it was easy (!) and all seemed to enjoy the day. Luckily the weather held up well despite forecasts of heavy rain! 

 

Well done to Libby and Imogen for catching the eye of the judges and winning the rugby balls presented by Shaunagh and Giada from Harlequins Women and thanks to all at Ashford for a well organised, fun day and for the err...pens!   Well done to all the U13 Oaks girls.

U15s / A21s in National Semi Final

With their mascot in tow, our U15s / A21s travelled yesterday to Royal Wootton Bassett to compete in a three way competition, with the winner moving to the National final.

We faced two very strong opponents, Harpenden and Kingsbridge who has stormed their way to the national semi finals, in the same way we did.

We won match one v Harpenden 10 -7 in a tight game.  However, the second match was a lot tougher and closer, having lost against Kingsbridge 24-10.

Sadly this means we do not progress to the finals.  Our girls can hold their heads up high as they displayed continuous determination and great sportsmanship.

unfortunately Nicole was hurt during the day - our best wishes go to her for a speedy recovery!

Congrats to Anna, Aoife, Catherine, Lillie, Kate, Millie, Olivia, Scarlett, Tori and Zoe
