Score: Durham City 55, Seaton Carew 10 Player
of the match: James Coxon Despite a very hard pitch and rather windy conditions, Durham City U9s continued to demonstrate their fine form that resulted in yet another win. Some of Durham's players combined with Seaton Carew (who only had 6 as a result of some cry offs on Mother's Day!) to enable the game to go ahead and we were very proud to see the commitment shown by all those who played on both sides. The game was good natured and allowed all of Durham City's U9s to play for at least half a match-something that has not always been easy this season with such a large squad!

Semi Final: Durham City 25 Yarm 5 Durham City are the 2008-09 U9s Durham County Cup Champions. Player(s) of the Tournament: William Hodgson & James Coxon Match Comments: Jamie Adamson Sunday 15th March 2009 was the most important date in our rugby calendar the County Cup Competition. Where teams from right across the county would compete to see who had the best U9 rugby team this season. We were very excited and a bit nervous because we were the current county champions so everyone would want to beat Durham City. We
were so lucky because the weather was great, dry and sunny,
perfect for playing rugby. We had a very strong squad of great
players who had trained hard together and were determined to
win. Our next pool match was against Blaydon Falcons who proved to be easy competition due to weak tackling allowing Durham City to score try after try. We won 35-0 with Max Weightman and Robert Milbanke scoring 2 tries each and a further try each from me, William Jewitt and Alex Pearson. Winning both of our matches got us through to the quarter final stage where we met another team from Blaydon Blaydon Red Kites. By this stage everyone was playing with confidence and we could get to the final. Parents and supporters were now shouting very loudly for Durham to win and it worked! We beat Blaydon Red Kites 30-0 with two tries from William Hodgson and further tries from Nico Goeta, Joe Blackbourne, James Coxon and Alex Pearson. Semi-final time! Yarm were our opposition, a strong team who managed to find a gap and score the first points against Durham in the competition, despite a strong tackle from Max Weightman as they crossed the line. In spite of this, Durham put 25 points past Yarm with all the tries coming from two players James Coxon scored 3 tries and William Hodgson scored 2 tries. Durham City were now watching Sunderland v Mowden Park to see who they would face in the final. They were both very tough opposition and we knew whoever we played in the final, it would be a tough match. Sunderland won 5-0. They would be our opposition in the final! The
final This was our toughest match of the day. Our parents
and grandparents were screaming by now and were really nervous.
We all tried our best and played as a team and managed to win
the final 5-0 with a great try from Robert Milbanke.

It was a great day for Rugby. Especially as we played outside on grass! Our
first game was against Barnard Castle. We were a bit slow to
start and Barney scored the first try. A try by Joe Blackbourne
at the last play pulled us back & saw us drawing as the
half time whistle went.

James Coxon 1, Nico Goeta 1, William Hodgson 1, Match Comments: William Hodgson We played Darlington at Soccarena this week as Hollow Drift is still water-logged. The pitch was smaller than we are used to and I dont think it suited our style of play. Darlington were a very aggressive side and scored the first try (0-5). Gary Adamson gave us some useful tips at half time but Darlington scored another try, taking the score to (0-10). I scored the next try (5-10), Darlington scored again to make it (5-15), then a great run by James resulted in another try for Durham (10-15). We began to push Darlington hard which eventually gave us another try following a brave run by Nico levelled the score to 15-15. It was a hard match and I think we did really well to pull back and get a draw. I would like to thank Gary Adamson and Trevor Coxon for stepping in as referee and team coach, they did a great job under tricky conditions and amazingly all 17 of us played in the game at some stage.

On
Sunday Durham Tigers and Lions played against Guisborough. Tigers
played first and won 35-0. Lions played later against the same
team and won 30-10. We were good at tackling but need to concentrate
at not doing high tackles. We also still need to pass more.
It was very muddy and it was hard to hold or pass the ball,
but we had lots of fun.

This was our first match of contact rugby. Blaydon tried hard but we were too strong for them. We tackled well and the ball never got near our try line. Robert and Johnny were both injured, but both came back on to help us win. James was made player of the match by our coach Clare for his 4 tries and great tackling. We played well as a team but need to pass the ball more next time.

I was lucky enough to watch the final and what a game guts, determination, teamwork and sportsmanship a real credit to yourselves, your coaches, your parents/guardians and to Durham City RFC everybody at the club is immensely proud of the whole of the U9 squad for their hard work in achieving their success and of course adding to the earlier season success of winning both the Cup and Plate in the Durham County RFU 7s tournament a mini grand slam so to speak. Brilliant
- keep it up.
Sunday 19th October We had
another great day on Sunday against a very good Bishop Auckland
team. See attachment for results and players. We now have 5 weeks at home (training, game, training, etc.) which will be nice after 3 weeks on the road. There is lots to improve on in training and we are pleased that 3 extra parents have volunteered to help a little (Colin Hodgson, Geraint Morris & John Ridland). Many thanks to them. This Sunday we hope to have a presentation for the County 7's trophy (by Durham's first team Captain, Grant Thompson). This is a great honour for our U9's and richly deserved. We hope that everybody will meet in the clubhouse after training and changing (say 12:15).
Sunday
12th October We thought you would like to know that our U9's players did DCRFC proud on Sunday. We all had a fantastic day and managed to win the 'County 7's' tournament. We were the only club to enter 2 teams and both managed to win some silverware, which was absolutely brilliant. The 8 teams competing were; Group A: Middlesbrough, Bishop Auckland, Horden & Darlington Group B: Durham Tigers, Durham Lions, Sunderland & Darlington Mowden Park Unfortunately we were both drawn together in the same group but it worked out well for us in the end. After
a tough competition the 'Tigers' emerged as outright winners of
the 'shield' following a hard fought final victory against Sunderland.
The Tigers had reached the final having played a draw against
Sunderland and then managing victories over Darlington Mowden
Park, team mates the 'Lions' The 'Lions' team also emerged as winners of the 'cup' competition. They showed tremendous spirit and courage by picking themselves up from losing their first three 'group stage' games to narrowly beat host's Middlesbrough in the semi final and then overcoming Darlington in their final. It is a great boost for everyone involved with the U9's and we hope you will join us in congratulating all the players. Please see results, photo's and scorers below. We will soon post something on the DCRFC website for the players to show their friends and family. If any parent can coax their child into writing a few words these will be posted up as well. We understand there will be a feature on the tournament appearing in both this Friday's Northern Echo and Durham Times newspapers (hopefully anyway).
