The Paphos Tiger Minis took part in an U12 Tournament in Limassol on Sunday 14th June 2009, along with teams from Limassol Crusaders, Pascal English Schoool and the American Academy (Limassol). It is the first tournament they have taken part in for 4 years and they didn't let us down.
Our players were :Sam Blomfield 9 years, Callum Cowley 10 years, Ewan Cowley 7 years, Alexi Droushiotis 7 years, Zak Droushiotis 9 years, Henry England 9 years, Flynn Kennedy 10 years, Chelsey Mac 11 years , Alex Panayai 11 years, Bradley Sherwood 11 years.
They played four matches, 2-5, 6-1, 2-4, 4-5. Unfortunately the scores do not give a true picture of how they played. In the first match against the American Academy they were a bit rusty and unorganised, but considering the season finished at the end of March, we can allow them this!
The second match was against Pascal ( a team, incidently, that consisted solely of 14 and 15 year olds). They lifted their game and despite the huge age difference, beat them soundly 6-1. A great win considering our team had two 7 year olds, three 9 year olds, two 10 year olds and three 11 year olds.
It was a joy to watch them pull toether as they got into the tounament showing great defensive skills and outstanding runs.
The Tiger Mini's got through to the semi-finals only to be pipped at the post by the American Academy 4-5.
A big thanks to all our players, parents and supporters who made the trip. Well done chaps!
If anyone, boys and girls, are interested in joining the team or just coming down to see what rugby is all about please contact Sally on 99326452. All are welcome.
