Biggleswade RUFC Awards & Presentations Dinner

Friday 17th May at 7pm

Three Course Dinner

Guest Speaker: Tim Stimpson formerly England, British Lions and Leicester

Awards to be presented are:

Players Player, Player of the Year and Most Improved Player for Senior teams

The Malcolm Carlisle Trophy (Minis and Youth Coaching award)

Clubman of the Year

Chairman’s Unsung Hero

Honours Ties (if awarded)

 

Tickets £35 from Stan

 

Biggleswade XV 26 Chairman’s XV 5

 

The senior XV won the annual Chairman’s match in the finale to the season.

 

The power and bulk told in the end against the more youthful Chairman’s team based on the successful colt’s side of 2009. Only the chairman raised the average age!

 

The youngsters had the temerity to score first in the opening five minutes thanks to a typical quick tap from Dom Nott. Dom is expected to be back in contention for a first XV place next season.

 

But this early reverse just served as a wake up call and order was soon restored. Winger Taig Norman swooped in round under the posts at the end of the three-quarter line. Harry Worboys added the conversion.

 

With Karl Marshall in at hooker the senior XV took control at the driving mauls. Line outs were more of a lottery.

 

In the backs the pace of the wingers Taig Norman and Luke Haverly with the elusive running of Sam Stock was a real handful for the former colts although they tackled like demons.

 

When Sasha Heath finally made an appearance he was soon on the score sheet taking a scoring pass from skipper Jonathan Hamilton. It was Hammy who scored the third try breaking away from the back of a lineout on the edge of the “22”. Hammy started last season as a centre so has a useful turn of speed for a second row.

 

As wintry squalls swept the ground clear of all but the hardiest spectators the rugby became more of attrition rather than flair.

 

The only score in the second half was a try from Tom Worboys after a “chip and chase” up the right wing. Hammy Hamilton allegedly drop kicked the conversion but it was difficult to see that far through the driving rain!

 

Thanks go to referee Pete Biernis for his sensitive handling of the game and Chairman Stan Matthews for his cameo appearance at hooker in his XV. Despite the conditions it was a competitive match played in a good spirit.

 

Chairman’s XV: Stuart West, Tom Harwood, Steve Matthews, Will Sale, Stuart Phipps, Ryan Shepherd, Owen Thomas, Michael Haddow, Dom Nott, James ‘Flash’ Gordon, Sam Joyce, Gavin Taylor, Gary Athow, Will Roake, Will Priston, Charlie Darlow, Kyle Loan, Tom Torne, Liam Price.

 

Biggleswade XV: Callum Maxwell, Karl Marshall, James Caulfield, James Emerson, Jonathan Hamilton, Damian White, Michael Hall, Ross Taylor, Harry Worboys, George Humberston, Lawrence Hutchinson, Taig Norman, Luke Haverly, Sam Stock, Sasha HEath, Ian Flack, Andy Burke, Adam Fage, Liam Dunne, Nathan Thoday.

Congratulations to Tom Flather from Biggy U16s: In addition to winning the U16s Player of the Year award Tom received a further accolade when he was nominated to represent Biggleswade RUFC Youth players in the converted BMW Junior Player of the Year Award. Tom will go forward to the final selection which looks to reward a player with real promise for the future. Each of the Biggleswade club youth coach was asked to nominate a player for consideration with U16s coach Tim McGregor proposing young Flather “He never tires and is exceptional in attack and fearless in defence always getting back to put in the tackles no one else can”. He added that Tom has blistering pace, pure strength, and presence around the field. By winning the club’s nomination Tom receives a personal endorsement from England head coach Stuart Lancaster plus a gift from BMW…….sadly NOT a 1 series as would have liked!!!!!

Bedfordshire Cup Final

Stockwood Park 8 Biggleswade 15

 

On Sunday Biggleswade won the County Cup for the first time since 1991 when half the squad were not born! On a warm sunny afternoon in front of a large crowd it was a closely fought affair.

 

Cup games allow seven replacements so Biggleswade had their full quota on the bench including James Hamilton and Nigel Hutchinson the hero of the semi-final.

 

The game marked the debut for Chris Cowhig at flanker and no mean start either according to club legend “Joe” Jordan who knows a thing or two about back-row play. For younger readers Joe was Club Captain four times and played in the golden years of Biggleswade rugby in the late 1980s.

 

Biggleswade had a dream opening when from a catch and drive at a lineout giant lock James Emerson crossed the line for only his second try of the season. James has great hands in the lineout and wins ball which others would miss.

 

The Biggy pack had a series of powerful drives but they did not produce the same result.

 

When infant Harry Worboys increased the lead with a penalty Biggleswade appeared to be in control. As always Harry distributed the ball well but just when it was unexpected by the opposition he made a scything break that almost led to another try.

 

But Stockwood who beat Biggleswade two years ago in the final at Langford Road refused to lie down and came back with a vengeance.

 

Quickly taken penalties and good off-loads in the tackle meant that Biggleswade were often scrambling back to make last gasp tackles. But Stockwood’s only reward in the first half was a penalty.

 

In the second part Biggleswade rang the changes rotating players as required. On a torrid afternoon in the front row both replacement props Adam £TinkFage and James Hamilton had a run out.

 

After a period of good play Biggleswade scored their second try. A crisp handling movement along the three-quarter line saw burly George Humberston with space out wide. He pinned his ears back and brushing off three defenders rounded under the posts for the touchdown. Harry Worboys added the conversion.

 

George is a powerful runner and given room to move is a handful. But Biggleswade faced with similar challenges from Stockwood always made sure of their defence. Little Sam Stock at full back seemingly the last line of resistance did enough to stop his man when a try looked odds-on.

 

As the game entered its final quarter Biggleswade suffered two major blows in quick succession. First powerful centre Lawrence Hutchinson was sent to the bin for a dangerous spear tackle although it appeared a harsh decision.

 

Then fellow centre Sam Fraser suffered the same fate for dissent. But reduced to thirteen men Biggleswade just worked harder. They did however concede a pushover try from a five metre scrum. According to a seasoned former referee on the touchline Stockwood should have been penalised for standing up in the scrum as Biggleswade had been earlier in the match.

 

There were a few more alarms as seven minutes of added on time was played before the final whistle brought jubilation to a weary Biggleswade and the celebrations started.

 

Captain Jonathan Hamilton receiving the trophy remarked that it had been a frustrating season with an awful time before Christmas but winning the Beds Cup was a fitting climax to the season. It is likely that Biggleswade will be playing Stockwood Park in the league next season.

 

Sunday’s squad: C Maxwell, S Heath, J Caulfield, J Emerson, Jonathan Hamilton, M Haddow, C Cowhig, M Hall, M Trigg, H Worboys, G Humberston, S Fraser, L Hutchinson, W Roake, S Stock, James Hamilton, A Fage, A Borg, N Thoday, D White, T Norman, N Hutchinson.

 

 

Biggleswade Rugby News

Sunday 5th May

 

Biggy are the Bedfordshire COUNTY CHAMPIONS!

Against the odds, Biggleswade First XV beat Stockwood Park 8 – 15 in front of a large crowd on Sunday. Captain Jonathan Hamilton collected the trophy from East Midlands chairman Paul McGuckian after a tense game in which Biggy seemed to have the upper hand in the first half. See the full report from Nigel Aldis in the Biggleswade Chronicle on Friday 10th and on BigglesFM on Saturday 11th May. Biggy lift the cup for the first time in 22 years! A fantastic end to a frustrating season! Thanks must go to all of the players and coaching staff and to the mass of Biggy supporters who came literally in their hundreds to support the boys.

Biggy teams to change Leagues.

Biggleswade Development and Biggleswade Third XV are expected to join the Herts and Middlesex leagues for the 2013/14 season. Having played in the Greene King League for the past few years, the decision was prompted by match secretary Richard Phipps and was based on the lack of guaranteed games in the existing league. “We have enjoyed playing in the leagues but were frustrated this season with the number of league games cancelled at the last minute due to opposition not having enough players” said Richard who added that the change to the challenging Herts and Middlesex leagues also brings continuity with the Youth section who are very successful in the Saracens Herts and Middlesex leagues.

***********************************

Biggy Under 14s Presentations. At the end of season presentations the winners of the Club awards were Ben Feltham, selected by the squad as Players Player; Connor Wilson as Player of Year; Most Improved Player went to Leo Green whose development as a brave tackler was exemplified during the Leeds tour. The U14s own award of Man of Steel went to Oliver Trudgill for his blood and glory performance at Ely. The traditional annual tour took the team to Leeds to take on the pride of Yorkshire coming away with one defeat and one victory.

Fitness training this summer will enable the squad as U15s to focus on improving the end of season position in both leagues and aiming for promotion.

Biggleswade Under 16s rounded of the season having played 17 games, won 13 lost 3 and drew 1 and finishing a very strong 3rd in the Saracens Herts & Middlesex leagues

The U16s awards were: Player of the Year: Tom Flather, Players Player, Henry Cusak, Most Improved Player: Joe Foster with Harry Fellowes awarded the Grafter trophy and the Under 16s Clubman of the Year going to Brian and Louise Cusak who helped manage the side from Mini rugby through to Under 16s

Biggy U14s: Have had a great season and have finished 3rd in the Saracens Herts & Middlesex league and completed their season on Sunday 28th with an away game at champions Enfield

Biggy U16s: finished a creditable 3rd in division four of the Saracens Herts and Middlesex league and finished the season with a win against Leighton Buzzard at home on 28th April. Coach Tim McGregor is hanging up his boots after this season as some of the current U16s join with the U17s to become Junior Colts. A huge thanks to Tim and Lee for their coaching of the squad from very early age groups through to now. The game was marred by a injury to Josh Sadd, who broke his collarbone, especially as it is just the start of the cricket season and Josh is a very talented cricketer. Best wishes to Josh!
