Match report: Development Squad
CCRFC v Ruislip

UNDER 11s
This contest was played in bright but windy conditions and as a consequence there was a lot of close-quarter play. The touring side started strongly but Cary were equally as determined not to concede. The game was free-flowing with the majority of it being played out in ruck and maul situations.

Cary were first to score with a converted try from forward play, scoring a second soon after. Ruislip clawed one back as the game headed towards half time.

The second half saw Cary gain the advantage of the wind. Again most of the work was done in or around the forwards with the captain for the day, James Voysey, leading the charge. Cary were now playing confidently and although Ruislip were never out of touch with play they were not strong enough to win the game.

Cary scored two further converted tries with Ruislip scoring once in reply. Cary's tries were scored by Jack Bloss, Jame Voysey, Philip Wake and Josh Vincent. All four were converted by Joey Lester-Hinchliffe. There were many candidates for Man of the Match, including Liam Atkins and Philip Wake, but for overall performance and effort James Voysey won through.

UNDER 12s
