Newport U10s made the trip south on Sat 11 th April to play in a U10s pre match Tournament organised by Guinness Premiership side Northampton Saints. Facing unfamiliar opposition  it provided a good if tough experience for the  travelling squad from Newport.

 

 

They played three matches on the day. The first match was a defeat against a very well drilled side from Cambridge RUFC, who were eventual winners of the tournament. But they kept their heads high and put in a much better performance in the second match against a Rushden and Higham B side which lead to a victory.Then the final match in their pool was against the Rushden and Higham A side. In a very close fought affair the Rushden side edged the victory despite some tremulous try saving tackling efforts from Newport.
