BROMSGROVE U12s 14 Stourbridge U12s 42. Missing three key players and with new faces in the side, Bromsgrove took a long time to start playing as a team. Good scrummaging and rucking was let down by poor defensive work which gifted the visitors four of their six tries. Bromsgrove try scorers were Alistair Hewitt and Chris Blackhall with Ashley Binner converting both.
Bromsgrove U12s 28 Stourbridge U12s 21. A much better team effort in the second game with Bromsgrove finally showing how well they can play. With the forwards again dominant in the scrums and rucks, Bromsgrove put several good passing moves together for a deserved victory. Try scorers were Ashley Binner (two), Paul Fitzer and Jonathan Wilkinson. Binner converted three and Fitzer one. Chris Blackhall was voted MoM.
Willenhall U16s 0 Bromsgrove U16s 100. The under-16s set a new record by running in 15 tries at Willenhall. Bromsgrove applied early pressure and were awarded a penalty in the opening minutes of the game. Relentless hard work by the back row stopped Willenhall's attacking play. This enabled Bromsgrove to turn the ball over and use it to their advantage by releasing their faster backs. Bromsgrove realised that playing open rugby was their only option as Willenhall's heavier forwards could not keep up with the pace of the game.
Willenhall tried to get back into the match in the second half but outstanding individual efforts by Tom Rostrup and Warren Oliver prevented any comeback. This convincing win, their sixth in a row, was reward for a great all round team performance. Try scorers were MoM Tom Rostrup (four) Adam Slaughter (two), George Edginton (two), Ollie Wells (two), Joe Baker, Tom Garner, Tom Crook, Adam Brookes and Brent Leech. Joe Baker scored 11 conversions and one penalty.
Bromsgrove U14s 31 Willenhall U14s 5. Bromsgrove were given a hard fought match against a strong Staffordshire side. Bromsgrove started well and were soon rewarded with a try from Number Eight David Hughes following good work from Thomas Solomon and Kyle Everton. This was followed by another two tries from Hughes who converted two of them. Willenhall did not give up and played with great spirit until half time but were unable to breach the strong Bromsgrove defence. In the second half Bromsgrove extended their lead with tries from James Hinks and Christian Moule with Hughes converting one. Willenhall were not to be outdone and continued to attack until the end, when they were rewarded with a well taken try to reduce the arrears. Special mention this week goes to John Deardon, Andrew Strong and the tireless Thomas Winterbottom.

Luctonians U12s 0 Droitwich U12s 21. A physical Luctonians side could not overcome Droitwich's more skilful approach.

Droitwich U13s 12 Silhilians U13s 0. This was a hard game with both sides proving to be better at defending than at finding a successful attacking move. The game had not long started when a good piece of team play gave Richard Reece the ball in space. Richard did not disappoint and powered through. The match rested at a single try up until half time. In the second half it was much the same but excellent Droitwich tackles from Sam Cooper and Richard started to have an impact. A good break led to Iain Young scoring and then converting his own try. Old Sills tried some desperate attacks but couldn't breach the Droitwich defence.
