Ross on Wye Rugby Club
We are a local club, where young and older players of all abilities are made welcome.
Are you sitting comfortably….![]()
![]()
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.![]()
![]()
As another season is drawing to a close it’s time to reflect, on what has been a brilliant year in the development of Ross Rugby U16’s. ![]()
Anyone who has participated in team sports can appreciate the bond that gels the great and best teams together. I know as rugby coaches and fans we are biased, but no sport epitomises this camaraderie more than rugby, surely! What other sport brings 6ft plus gym enthused beasts and 5ft nothing whippets, and expects them to do similar things…hand skills, kicking, stamina, speed, agility, bravery, brute force and intelligence…? ![]()
As the season has progressed, the team has grown in numbers but more importantly in ability, confidence and togetherness. This was shown last weekend during a mini tournament hosted by Malvern, thank you very much, and attended by Luctonians and our near neighbours Ledbury. 3 very strong well established clubs who have been together for numerous years. ![]()
It’s fair to say every game was played to a very good level, with lots of positives from a Ross perspective. These teams historically may have steamrolled Ross, but this band of brothers from Ross held strong and backed each other immensely. Yes we came out on the losing side, just, in all 3 games…but they were so close…could easily have gone the other way in each game. Some key moments to highlight…the front row Louis, Nathan and Ollie held their ground under a lot of pressure, Howie adding support after a cameo on the flank, who is benching the most boys? Kenzie stepping into the 2nd row, ever trusted and adaptable, the rock for the team… “can you smell what Kenzies cooking”…as Ross were unfortunately without injured stars Danny, Seth, Alex B (thanks for supporting lads) and Rio, oh and Finn who was splashing about on a river…We can’t overlook Ed and Dylan E who both stepped up and covered 2nd row too, fantastic work guys, great clear outs going on 🤜, naturals. ![]()
Harry and Matty their usual feistiness and hardworking throughout from back row, eat sleep repeat with these guys, our own Mini MaCaw’s. Zach conducting nicely at 9 (more Bernstein than Blakey…🚌)kicking some lovely conversions and territory. Ellis calling the shots, whilst giving and taking them (what a hit 💪)at 10, beautiful hands in releasing Alex J, who ran in an amazing try that Forrest Gump would be proud of…he just kept running and running, well done, his first for the club 🫶. ![]()
Isaac and Quinn a really strong centre partnership developing, like watching, Tindall and Greenwood (feel free to offer your suggestions) both rewarded with tries Isaac bulldozing over from 5 yards, unstoppable from that distance 💪, Quinn beating numerous players with feet, pace and strength, to score his maiden try for the club too 🫶. Google Mr Dependable…did you find Owen? No…you should! Covered too many positions, excellently. Ben, Luca and Dillion F, our footy lads, with their silky skills in the back 3, I say footy lads…boy can they tackle…and no rolling around dramatically 😉. peeps feel free to write into Tim (welfare officer)he loves group chats. Also to add for the parish notes…missing last weekend Lex, Walter, Riley and Josh, who have all added further strength of body, spirit and mind to our squad…💪.![]()
We have said goodbye to a couple who have gone on to pastures new, good luck, remember the door is never fully closed…👋and to Oscar and Tyrese (Alex), let’s turn all the training into action, playing matches next year…🤜![]()
![]()
To the parents and carers we say a massive thank you….mucking in when needed and being a really good bunch of supporters and people 👏🫶.![]()
![]()
To the club, junior section and sponsors - big thank you for enabling and supporting our future Ross Hall of Famers. 👍🏼![]()
![]()
The coaches, thanks team…ever insightful, enthusiastic and constructive…though please stop spamming the group chats Tim! 👍🏼😂![]()
![]()
And finally but arguably, most importantly Jon and Sarah..massive thanks for all you have done over the years and continue to do…we’d not have a team without you 👏🫶.![]()
![]()
Anyone for some U17’s next year….!
The pitches are looking splendid for our Touch Rugby taster day tomorrow. Can't wait to see you all here! ![]()
Women's 6 Nations will be on in the clubhouse and the bar will be open.

*Old Crypts U16 v RRFC U16 - 19/19*![]()
![]()
To thine own self be true….![]()
![]()
Another entertaining tussle between 2 well matched teams in OC (Old Crypts) and Ross was played out last Sunday at The Memorial Ground, Gloucester. ![]()
Not even Kathleen could stop these 2 groups of young men competing bravely. ![]()
Now for regular readers to these distinctly average reports and Ross U16 fan base, The Rowies or The Wyverns (please feel free to come up with suggestions, send them on a postcard to Jon) you’ll be fully aware of just how electric Ross are to start…Just like Eric the Eel from Sydney 2000 Olympics…😬…..however no sooner had the steam settled on the parents skinny lattes (less than 2 minutes), Ross were over for a try…consistent pressure and quality ball retention and recycling, ended with Skipper Harry touching down, the following conversion went a little off radar…but Zachs moment would come…![]()
![]()
0-5 Ross continued to edge the game all over the park, dominating the scrum, scrapping at the breakdown, and punching through in midfield. One such line break saw Quinn bursting through tackles, stretching OC defence to the last man and releasing Alex J to score what would have been a fantastic maiden try…but the ball was deemed forward…😳oh for VAR…🙄. ![]()
![]()
OC came back into the game later in the half and scored a try which was well converted 7-5. This didn’t dampen Ross’ resolve though, on the cusp of half time, Ross’ barrage of relentless attacks paid off with the ever present Wasp at the Picnic, Matty blasting over with the presence of mind to get closer to the posts…Zach clinically converted. HT 7-12.![]()
![]()
OC came out firing in 2nd half with Kathleen at their backs…and attacking down the slope…It felt like they had 16 men. ![]()
![]()
(read between the lines folks…).![]()
![]()
Ross continued to compete and their defence was immense even when they were reduced to 14 (thanks Bertie Bassett). Some big hits from the Bomb-squad, Ollie, Louis and Riley were just a few to catch the eye. Eventually numbers and pressure counted and OC scored and converted their 2nd try 14-12. ![]()
![]()
Entering into the final 10 minutes…Ross back to full quota of 15…saw them striving against geography and the elements to push OC back…strength, speed and agility from Harry Travolta…cue music 🎵…![]()
“Here I am,![]()
Prayin' for this moment to last,![]()
Livin' on the music so fine![]()
Borne on the wind![]()
Makin' it mine”….![]()
as he danced his way through the defence and critically under the posts…allowing twin brother Zach a slightly easier conversion…into a stiff breeze which he nailed! Get in…14-19…![]()
![]()
One score in it…time ticking down…some silly if not debatable penalties resulted in Ross surrendering territory and OC scored to peg the scores level 19-19…the conversion was chased admirably down by a couple of flyers…who harassed the otherwise perfect kicker into an unlikely miss. ![]()
![]()
With the clock in the red, Ross had one last roll of the dice…strong carries from Kenzie, Ed, Isaac and others ended with Danny being held up desperately over the line. Good defence in the end from OC - credit to them. Both teams probably felt they had chances…but ultimately a hard fought draw was the result. At the start of the game coaches mentioned we can coach many things but attitude isn’t one of them…last Sunday the boys stood up and showed fantastic attitude to a man! ![]()
![]()
The previous week Ross entertained Worcester at home for a mid week training game. It was a cracking shortened fixture with both teams playing in great spirits. Worcs eventually winning 12-34 thanks to 2 bursts of try braces at the end of each half. Kenzie scored 2 tries, immense as ever and Zach kicked a conversion.
Our U16’s are off to Old Cryptians Rugby Football Club this Sunday 7th April![]()
