After a week of cold and wet weather, we were delighted to be able to host Folkestone on bright sunny morning with great ground conditions for rugby. The morning started with both clubs taking the advantage to join up for a training session with larger numbers, which enabled us to work on different areas of game play in attack and defence, then into a game split into 3 separate 20 minute sections.

The game started at a fast and furious pace. Folkestone pressed hard and managed to score a quick try in the corner after some good handling and great use of the space created by some fiercely contested work in the breakdown. Ash used that as wake up call and to start playing the way we do in training, with great offloads to the wide players and managing to score several times. Both sides were making some good tackles with great technique to make a good game to watch from the side lines. Ash went into the break leading 5-2.

After the break, both teams came out with a fresh intensity to push forward in attack, with both sides playing with great passing and competing for the ball at the break down. Both sides kept on turning over the ball several times at the ruck, to create good attacking play from defence. Again both sides scoring tries with Ash edging it 5-1.

Into the final third of the game, Folkestone showed the resilience to keep on pushing forward and putting pressure on to the Ash defence taking it 2-1 to the visitors, making the final score 11 -5 to Ash.

Well done boys, a great result after several weeks of tough training!

We are always looking for anybody that wants to give rugby a go. Just get in touch or come along to a training session, what ever experience of rugby, you have your always made welcome at Ash.
