Jorja leads scoring spree

There’s no stopping Borough Rugby Club’s high-flying Under 15 girls team.

They were away at Tamworth on Sunday and were expecting a tough game.

Yet they went on a scoring spree, winning 69-0 to make it five matches in a row without conceding a single point.

Free-scoring Jorja Matchwick took her tally of tries for the season past the 50 mark (in 21 games) with a double hattrick, captain Jasmine Murray crossed the line twice and single tries were scored by Liberty Ashdown, Liv Hill and Kida Turner.

Ashdown also kicked four conversions and Holley Ross added a further three.

On the boys front, Borough Under 16s put in a fantastic allround team performance to win 27-17 away at fierce local rivals Deeping and record their third victory of the season.

Relentless pressure from the forwards gave the backs some great platforms to score, with a try apiece for skipper Ryan Aliker-Bates, George Edean, Harry Hudson and Owain Masters, while Ollie Cook celebrated his first ever try in a Borough shirt.

George Neale had a field day as the Under 14s also beat Deeping, running out as 45-12 victors on home turf.

He scored two tries and kicked four conversions while there was also a try each for Jake Semper, on his first game back after a spell playing elsewhere, Rowan Forbes, Nathan Goodwin, Kane Powell and Arjun Singh.

The rest of the points came from the boot of Patrick Blackman.

Borough Under 15s were beaten 32-12 at Oundle with Tom Abbondanza and Josh Webster grabbing a try apiece.

“It was a great performance by everyone, but it just wasn’t to be our day,” said head coach Jason Hinch.

“We can’t wait to put the record straight next time we play.”

Jorja Matchwick has scored more than 50 tries this season.
