The black and white hoops of Royston descended on Carver Barracks, on Sunday the 15th of October 2017, for our first home game of the season.

Following a bit of a frantic start, delayed slightly by laying out of pitches and problems with adulting, we got underway on 2 pitches against our friendly foes from Hertfordshire.

Ye olde Knights of Windsor castle took siege on pitch one - Henry Mitchell Davies, Joe Taylor, Rupert Warden-Hill, Barney MacFayden, Edward Samson, Alexander Begley and Louis Leppelley entrusted with defending the city walls.
Said Knights had obviously had a late night, as they were a little slow out of the blocks and conceded a few early tries in the first game. However, they rallied and went on to battle with gusto from there on in. Some great build up work by all lead to some outstanding tries - beneficiaries being Henry MD with 10, Louis with 5, Joe with 2 and Rupert and Alexander with 1 apiece. Defence improved from game to game, but is certainly a point of focus for when we return to training.

The Crusaders from Warwick castle took on the Northern front on pitch two - Charlie Massie Dickinson, Adam Wall, Hannah Cullen, Henry Vigar, George Johnson, Jesse Diggins, Nyall and Nicolas Hulme donning the black of Wendens.
Similar salutations on the previous evening put pay to the first game, with our brave Knights a little stunned by the opening salvo. This dissipated for game two and the team started working together in both defence and attack. Try scorers being Charlie with 8, Hannah with 6, Jesse with 5, Nicolas with 3 and Henry V and Adam with 2 apiece.

All in all, great improvement through the 3 fixtures in October and all the kids deserve their week off after winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 1 across the 2 teams.

Plenty to work on, but the future's bright - the future's Wendens!!
