Last Saturday, our A team brought the curtain down on another unbelievable season for the squad by becoming the first Hertfordshire side in being crowned GRAND CHAMPIONS at the ETIHAD Harlequins Curtain Raiser Cup Finals. To add to the occasion, all the matches were played on the Twickenham Stoop main pitch.
So in a competition that had more than 60 entrants from the whole of the South of England, it was our Under 10 Welwyn boys who were crowned ETIHAD AIRWAYS Curtain Raiser Cup Winners for the 2009/2010 season. Captain Alfie Orchard collected the trophy from Harlequins Second Row, Ollie Kohn to loud cheers from the Welwyn support. Later on the boys paraded the trophy to a crowd of nearly 13,000 with a lap of honour. A fantastic moment that is sure to stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Individual match reports on the U10 team page.
Our Under 10 team made it four County Championships in a row last Sunday when they successfully retained their crown in emphatic fashion. It is a truly remarkable achievement for the club as well as testament to the strength in depth that we have in the Under 10 age group.
See the team page for a fuller report.
