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.
Team: Bowles, Coats, Eastgate, Green, Moore, Phillips, Plowman, Richardson, Rickard (coaches’ award winner).

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.
Team: Bell, Birch, Chaplin, Charlier, Dorsett, Ingram, Jackson, Ludlow, O’Carroll.
