P4 Cougars Run Wild Against Strong Opponents

Cumnock Cougars P4 team visited Hamilton for the annual Hamilton RFC Tournament on a brisk and cold Sunday morning where they were warmly welcomed. The team again treated parents, coaches and spectators to another fantastic morning of breathtaking rugby in which they played against 4 teams, at 12 minutes each. The performance of this fantastic team who throughout each game showed their opponents that it is all about working as a team which results in an overall win were again outstanding and to come out the winners again two weeks in a row was very well deserved.

The first game was against the hosts Hamilton Blue and they were quick to realise why Cumnock had the reputation it had! Normally it takes the team a while to get into the swing but this time they were all switched on right from the beginning resulting in a try being scored in the first minute. Every single player was on the ball right from the start and there was absolutely no chance that Hamilton was going to get through their defensive wall! With tackles coming thick and fast from Rudi, Kyran, Jake and Stuart our opponents were barely able to move!! We were able to chase down the try line on multiple occasions with Alfie and Ross setting out with great pace each and every time were able to bag a hat trick of tries. One of which had resulted from Alfie noticing a chance for him to intercept the ball in mid air and pounce and run with the ball scoring a try. Another one of the tries from Ross had resulted from an excellent pass from Euan who saw a glimpse of Ross near him and before Hamilton had a chance to tackle him quickly off loaded to Ross resulting in Ross bagging another try. Euan also bagged himself a try by powering through four defenders to show that once again the attacks not only go around the defenders but also straight through them. The game finished with Neil with his lightening speed twisting and turning his way through the defenders leaving them standing with absolute no chance to stop him to score a try just as the whistle was blown.

Overall score – Hamilton Blue 2 – Cumnock 9

The second game was against Dalziel which was a very fast paced game from the start. With Stuart, Rudi and Jake working hard to stop the leaks in the defence and working tirelessly as always and making vital tackles whilst also pushing forward to support the attack enabled the tries to come rolling in quick and fast from Alfie, Ross, Aaron, Kyran and Euan. Euan and Kyran again showed their opponents that they don’t have to run around them they will just power their way through them and score tries. Once again it was the outstanding defence that had made all this possible as all on the field had shown how well they had listened and taken on board techniques to tackle at recent training sessions resulting in them all able to bring any opponent to their knees!

Overall score – Dalziel 4 – Cumnock 8

The third game was against Dumfries a team which Cumnock had played quite recently and a team which they knew were a strong and well drilled team. This was a very fast paced game from the start and it began with try for try for the first 5 minutes. However this soon changed and Cumnock stepped up their defence against this strong and pacey squad and were able to deploy their now infamous defence by pushing their opponents back into their own half and with tackle after tackle and excellent quick thinking passing before the opponents could bring in their attack from Kyran, Stuart and Jake there was no way Dumfries were going to break through the solid defensive wall. With Ross, Alfie, Aaron and Neil demonstrating their usual cross pitch spectacular runs the game ended with 2 tries up for Cumnock.

Overall score – Dumfries 5 – Cumnock 7

The final game was against the hosts other team Hamilton Green. With having played 3 games one after another and not being able to have any subs the boys were understandably expected to start to tire. But that was not the case! The match started at a blistering pace with the Cougars ripping the Hamilton defence to shreds and within a few minutes a try being scored. With tackles coming thick and fast from all the boys our opponents were barely able to move!! It was Jakes turn to score a bag of tries showing that speed and lightness of foot comes from all angles. One of these tries had resulted from a fantastic tackle from Stuart in which he kept his attack up so much on his opponent that it ended up with a dropped ball and Jake picking it up and running as fast as he could to the try line.

Overall score – Hamilton Green 2 – Cumnock 10

Squad: Jake, Stuart, Aaron, Euan, Alfie, Kyran, Rudi, Neil, Ross

Thank you to Rudi, Aaron, Neil and Alfie who helped out the P5 team.
