Aylesbury under 17's met local rivals Amersham and Chiltern in the semi final of the South West Bowl competition on Sunday 30th march at Weedon lane. The pitch was very heavy although the sun was out.
Aylesbury Started the game with a quick try by pacey winger Rich Nicholls after receiving a peach of a pass from in form Fullback Wes McGympsy. Amersham replied in kind with a well worked try and conversion. Aylesbury then had to soak up the pressure from a big Amersham pack, who just before half time scored a push over try to leave the score 12 to 5 to A&C. The second half started as the first half had finished with a further try from the A&C pack, Aylesbury then rallied and took charge of the game and dominated both possession and territory, they kicked to penalties as A&C lost their discipline under the pressure, however as the under foot conditions worsened and with Aylesbury spending most of the remainder of the match in the opposition half they were unable to come back with a match winner, and some fantastic line breaks by both fly half Corey Hircock and Wes McGympsy under lined the A's attitude. However it was not to be as the game ended with a 17 to 11 win for the hosts. We wish A&C all the best in the final against Bristol .

Aylesbury RFC U10's match report 09.03.08
Aylesbury A 0 Buckingham A 10
Aylesbury A 25 Brackley 0
In a three team competition the A team came away with honours even after a morning of closely matched rugby. The first game was cut and thrust from the opening minute as Aylesbury ran into determined defence and were forced to clear their own lines on several occasions. Connor Eastgate put in determined runs and was ably supported by Tom Coats who seemed to be everywhere in support and keeping the ball in play. Ollie Bowles tried in vain to break the Buckingham defence but a last minute breakout by the opposition put the game out of reach.
The second game allowed the team to capitalise on their earlier performance as the ball went from hand to hand in a quick scoring game. Brackley recovered their composure after four first half tries to make the second half more even but were no match for Aylesbury. Try scorers for Aylesbury were Connor Eastgate (2),Freddie Phillips, Ollie Bowles and a great second half effort from Jamie Ludlow
Aylesbury B 5 Buckingham B 20
Aylesbury B 5 Buckingham B 30
The B team played team rugby from the start but took too long to get into their stride as the opposition put in three quick tries. Several of the team played their best of the season with Ollie Chaplin making a solo run to score a great try. Gus Charlier kept on his feet time after time after breaking play and Christian Birch took control of loose play in the ruck. Harry Dorsett put in a great run over half of the pitch and was pushed off the line, unlucky not to score.
The second game allowed Buckingham to consolidate their position as they put in fluent and controlled phases to put in six tries. Although Aylesbury battled hard the only exceptional play came from Harry Dorsett who scored a great try in his welcome return to form.

Aylesbury U10s v. Harpenden (away)
Aylesbury A 0
Harpenden A 20
Aylesbury A 40
Harpenden Dev. Team 0
Aylesbury A 0
Harpenden A&B 10
Aylesbury As had the opportunity to play against teams of various abilities due to Harpenden’s squad consisting of four teams. Their first match was very exciting with both sides determined not to concede, but Aylesbury were unlucky to let through four tries. They fought back determinedly in the second half but were unable to change the scoreline. The second match showed Aylesbury totally overpowering their opponents, with tries scored by Ollie Bowles (2), Freddie Phillips (2), Georgia Green (2), Connor Eastgate and Sam Richardson. During the third match, despite dominating most of the game and displaying excellent all-round skills, they briefly lost concentration and let through two tries.
Aylesbury Bs started the day with a try from Gus Charlier, excellent driving from Harry Dorsett and fearless tackling from Leigh Ingram. Unfortunately it was not enough to overcome the strong opposition and Harpenden managed to get the upper hand. Despite Harry Dorsett’s try, in the second match, Aylesbury could not overcome their opponents;. the third match was a much closer run affair with Harry and Jamie Ludlow scoring a try apiece but were just pipped at the post. The fixture was enjoyed by all players and they can now draw on the day’s experiences in preparation for next week’s home fixture against Henley.
Aylesbury RFC U10s v. Bicester RUFC Sunday 13th January 2008
Aylesbury A 0 Bicester B 20
Aylesbury A 5 Bicester A 0
Aylesbury A 5 Bicester B 15
The U10s As opening fixture of 2008 proved to be quite challenging and caught them out on the backfoot against strong opposition during the first match. However they made amends in the second and got back into their stride. Overall good support came from Ollie Bowles and Connor Eastgate, who scored Aylesbury’s try in the third match. Aylesbury As: Bowles, Coates, Dorsett, Eastgate, Green, Moore, Overton, Pittam, Richardson
Aylesbury B 30 Bicester C 0
Aylesbury B 35 Bicester B 5
Aylesbury B 5 Bicester B 25
Aylesbury Bs stormed their way through the first match, with skipper Charles Plowman scoring the first two tries, followed by Freddie May and Jamie Ludlow with two tries apiece. Leigh Ingram put in some immense tackling and the scrum, which consisted of Theo Schofield, Freddie May and James Rickard (coaches’ award winner) showed real controlled aggression. During the second match, the Bs continued to show excellent teamwork, with tries being scored by Jamie Ludlow (two), Oli Chaplin (one) and James Rickard (four). The forwards put on good pressure and intelligent ball-passing meant that the game went totally in Aylesbury’s favour. A good break by Bicester brought about their only try. A strengthened Bicester side in the third match proved more challenging but Aylesbury stood their ground with Oli Chaplin scoring a consolation try. Overall a spirited and excellent display of rugby. Aylesbury Bs: Birch, Chaplin, Charlier, Ingram, Ludlow, May, Plowman, Rickard,Schofield, Wares
