Rugby Match Report - North Midlands Vase Competition
Quarter Finals
3 April 2010
Chaddesley Corbett, B’ham Barbarians, Handsworth
Chaddesley Corbett posted a no show for the re-arranged North Midlands Vase Competition fixture so we claim the result and go marching onwards towards the semi-finals without having played a game ( a bye and two walkovers). Our best cup run for years.
The fill-in fixture was against Birmingham Barbarians with a second fixture against Handsworth 2nds. We fielded two pick and mix sides who both produced victories.
The Ba Ba’s fixture provided the sternest test. We were up against it in the forwards but luckily, the backs always looked threatening when they had possession. The final score :- Aldridge 22 points – Ba Ba’s 17 points.
Scorers : - Tries – Ben Drinkwater, Greg Raybould, Anthony Jaep, Ben Pittam. Conversion – Jim Arnold.
Ba Ba’s – Two converted tries and a penalty.
3,2,1

3 points-Anthony Jaep
2 points–Ben Pittam
1 point–Greg Raybould
The second fixture versus Handsworth was a more one sided affair. The final score was:- Aldridge 50 points – Handsworth 12 points.
Aldridge Scorers:- Tries – Dave Wright (2), Sean Campbell (2), Adam Reed (2), Alex Reed, Nick Raybould. Conversions:- Nick Raybould (3), Alex Yates (2).
3,2,1

3 points – Nick Raybould

Next week were back on league duty with our last league fixture versus Whittington at Veseyans. KO 3pm. The seconds are scheduled to play Ba Ba’s again. Away.
