Game Day

[Andrew Owen @AJO520]

Thanks @LauncestonClub for hosting @NHSOB_RFC_MandJ U16s on tour yesterday. We know you played with a depleted squad but we have left with great admiration for your spirit to the final whistle. Well done boys and thanks from the touring players parents and coaches. 🏉💙💛🖤🏉

☀️☀️A glorious sunny morning at NHSOB U16s as we welcomed Abergavenny down to Yew Tree Lane. Closely fought match where both teams produced some cracking rugby. Thanks for the game lads! See you back at your place 🙌👍🏉

A fabulous day at the Monmouth Festival for the ‘young guns’ from NHSOB U15s. First piece of silverware as we win our first competition. A big thank you to Monmouth for a wonderful day and all other teams involved. Also a big thanks to all the coaching team and patient parents!😂

Up your game @principalitysta @WalesRugby @WelshRugbyUnion disabled line being used as a filthy sauce station and rubbish collection. Truly disgraceful and disrespectful. What an embarrassment.

What game of rugby!🥴 An absolutely gorgeous morning at Yew Tree Lane. ☀️ We welcomed Penallta U15s to the Oldboys. 17-17 until the final minute. - Penallta just sneaking over to take the victory in the last play of the game. Thanks for the game boys - see you next season 🙌👍🏉

That blue headgear looks familiar @BrunnpPatrick @NHSOB_RFC_MandJ @RougemontSport and theres even a Dragons jersey under that blue bib.

Great day in the🌞 SQ u15 & u16 male over 70 players having a charge about💪👏 some spectators and coaches needing suncream 🥵 @malverncollege thanks to staff for their hard work and time! @NextGenXV #u15rugby #u16rugby

@Kooga_NZ this is disappointing. Less that a season old.

[Andrew Owen @AJO520]

Players are taught to dip into a tackle with full force but you can’t jump away from a tackler sliding in out of control. Does not seem to make any sense @WorldRugby #SixNationsRugby

[Andrew Owen @AJO520]

Is it me or are #SixNations commentators and pundits silenced by fear of being cancelled? No one seems prepared to challenge or even comment on officiating even when the crowd and those at home are out of their seats.

[Andrew Owen @AJO520]

So Mee’s try was disallowed due to separation measured in slowmo with a micrometer but if its France, try crack on. #IREvFRA

Pendergast looks a million miles off the Lions 10. #IREvFRA

A really positive morning against Chepstow U15s this morning. You can guarantee that the Chepstow boys will always give us a warm welcome. Our pitches were waterlogged so a reverse of venue was much appreciated 🏉 Many thanks and good luck for the rest of the season boys 🙌👍💪🏼🙂

[Patrick Brunnock @BrunnpPatrick]

Lots of smiling faces following a great match at Caerphilly RFC this morning. Both teams playing their part in good conditions. A little on the cold side but a thoroughly enjoyable morning for both teams. See you back at our place lads - thanks for the game. 🏉👍🙌

[Patrick Brunnock @BrunnpPatrick]

A real lesson in finishing your chances this morning as Penalta U15s came to Yew Tree Lane and did a job! A tough match and good opposition means we learn, dust ourselves down and regroup to go again next week. Thanks for the game lads! 🏉💪🏼😉🙌.

[Patrick Brunnock @BrunnpPatrick]

It was a muddy one, but they all count!! 😂I can’t exactly say it was a pretty game to watch but it came down to who wanted it more. A big thanks to Monmouth U15s this morning for even contemplating a game in these conditions - great fun for all involved! #OldboysOnTheUp 🏉💪🏼😉

[Patrick Brunnock @BrunnpPatrick]

Boys on a mission!! We welcomed Newbridge U15s to Yew Tree Lane today. What a game - a game of two halves where both go at it ‘hammer and tongs’. A breathtaking spectacle! 🏉 Gwent rugby has a good future - trust me!!! Enjoyed that one 😜Good-luck for the rest of the season lads!
