Two games were played in sunny but very windy conditions, the pitch having recovered well from a couple of weeks ago. The first game consisted of very open running with tries by Chris Dowding and Dan Edwards. Cary was caught out by the offside rule a few times, but when in possession produced some good passing and support for team tries as well as individual runs.
In the second game, the players showed more concentration and an excellent five-player passing move for a try by Kieran McCaul. Ned also scored. All other tries (6!) by Chris Dowding. Man of the Match went to Ned for staying alert and supporting play throughout.

Jack Clothier scored again from the kick-off, along with Tom Wilkinson to bring the score to 20–5. The second game was much the same. Man of the Match went to Charles Proud.
UNDER 11s
On a very windy but bright morning, Cary faced a well-drilled Ivel side. After Cary let Ivel in at the corner for the first try of the game, Joe Hinchcliffe used the wind to kick the ball behind the Ivel line for the first Cary try. Their second came from some good forwards work from Josh Vincent, whose pick and drive sent George Parry over the line. Ivel stole the game at the last minute with a solo effort in the corner. Man of the Match went to Joe Hinchcliffe.
UNDER 12s
