U16 BOYS FINAL: Bayside RFC 38-21 Castaway Wanderers
Bayside kicked off on the front foot and scored the first try of the Final within the opening minutes, before Castaway responded with a score of their own on the back of some quick movement from the right side.

However, the South Surrey side began to turn the screw and moved ahead after patient build-up play through the middle of the field. Two further Bayside tries, coupled with some impressive kicking, provided daylight in the scores, before the visitors took impetus from two penalties to cross over for a fifth score before half-time.

A moment of honesty from the Bayside coaches in the second half displayed the true values of Rugby. Castaway appeared to have scored a hard-worked try underneath the posts, but Bayside stole the ball and raced clear from their own goal-line to score at the opposite end of the pitch. However, calls from the Bayside sidelines indicated their opponents had legally touched down, so a try to Castaway was eventually awarded by Officials.

Both sides traded further scores but Bayside’s defense held firm for a famous victory.
