Under 18 Boys Inter Regions 2019

The South West Boys U18 team were drawn in group B of Div 2 with Scotland and East Midlands. The team had to finish in the top two of the group to reach the semi final stage but actually came out on top of the group.  In a tight game against East Midlands they won 7-5 and in the second game against Scotland, which was another tight game, winning 8-7. 

This meant the team were through to the semi -finals playing North West Ravens.The game was nip and tuck in the first quarter but eventually the South West pulled away as the boys started to gel together and win 13-6.

The final was next and Scotland were the opponents after they beat South East in the other semi.  The game became a very tactical affair as both teams knew each other's style of play and had strong players that the other team were trying to mark out of the game. The game was very tight for the first three quarters but in the final quarter Scotland pulled away to win 11-8.

South West Boys Head Coach John Spicer said ‘this was a great improvement in play from the last time this team played in the Under 16s Competition and all the players gave one hundred percent in every game.  A great bunch of lads who were a pleasure to coach.’

Best goalkeeper award went to Theo Quantic and most valuable player went to Charlie Brogan.
