Taking on the Minis!
The second year Benjis travelled to Brussels for the Boitsfort International Tournament. Playing in the under 12’s category, the Benjis were up against it; effectively competing against Minis. The 12-a-side rules, a second row in the scrum, contested line-outs, hand-offs and a kicking game were all new to the BSN players. Thankfully, Cillian from the…

In our last scheduled fixture of the season, the Benjis visited Hoek van Holland, fielding two teams including a ‘Chichester’ squad to prepare them for their upcoming trip to the UK. The scheduler at the NRB must have been pulling teams out of a hat when creating the future list, as this was the third…
