Minis Game Report

24 May 09

RHC Cougars Minis fielded three teams at the annual well-run Forresters Tournament a few weekends ago.

P6/7s

A mixed p6/p7s team went into battle against two Forrester teams and Murrayfield Wanderers.

Defeated by Forrester 1 in their first game, the squad regrouped to face the second Forrester team. Some early Cougars handling errors were punished by Forrester who led for most of the first half. But Cougars recovered the deficit just before half-time, and led for much of the second. After a nervous final few minutes, Cougars held on to win 4-2. The good form carried on into the final game against Murrayfield Wanderers - a team the Cougars had lost heavily to earlier in the season. But despite trading early tries with a bigger team, Cougars faded in the second half to lose a closely-fought encounter.

P4/5s

The P4/5s team were up against three older and bigger P5 teams. Well beaten by Lasswade in the first group game, the team fared better against two big sides from Forrester and Murrayfield Wanderers respectively. Cougars defied the odds and led in both end-to-end games, but last-ditch tries in each counted against them. Still, there's a lot of promise for the P5s team next season.
