The first game of the season for the Warminster under 12's was Frome away. With lots to learn from rule changes and the progression of introducing more plays it is going to be an interesting year. As usual when playing at Frome the weather was atrocious, and the opposition had good numbers. This traditionally is a tough fixture for Warminster and this game was no different.

Warminster started the stronger of the two teams with some great running from Douglas. With a strong hand off he came within meters of the try line. Warminster were dominant in the rucks throughout the first half but failed to turn this dominance into points. Frome crossed once in the first half after a well worked move put the winger over in the corner.

The Frome coaches must have had a word at half time because their rucking improved hugely in the second half. This allowed Frome more ball to play with allowing them to cross the Warminster line several more times in the second half.

Credit to the Warminster players, they never gave up with Thomas D putting in a superb tackling display.

Warminster threatened the Frome line several times in the second half but were thwarted time and again by some great Frome defence.

The Warminster players came away with the loss but can be extremely proud of their performance. Every player put in 100%.
With the rest of the season still to go Warminster certainly have put down some strong foundations to build on.

Warminster Squad: Thomas, Archie, Oliver, Ethan, Archie, Thomas, Henry, Zac, William, Haydon, Ben, Douglas, Jack, Matthew.
