The ball moved fast to Lewis Ballard and up to the 22 then inside for an amazing athletic catch from Allan Whittaker and quickly across to Jono Cooke who scored. Hadleigh worked hard to get some gain some ground, especially Josie Halls and Will Steed, but the Warriors kept up the pace and possession, Josh Bruce much in evidence, for Luke

Amazons return victorious from Bournemouth

National Challenge SE1 League Match Report, Sunday 17 February 2013 Oakmeadians 7 v Woodbridge Amazons 48The Amazons backs clearly relished the wide pitch in sunny Bournemouth when, shrugging off the four hour coach trip, they started quickly moving the ball fast from the opening scrum. Emma Johnson steamed down the right, offloaded to Chloe Stoppard Baker who scored. The Amazons pack provided a good platform, Sarah Cousins especially sharp, and within minutes it was Chloe’s turn to cover the distance and let Emma Johnson score. Clearly enjoying the space Woodbridge resisted some

Woodbridge Amazons show true grit as Richmond snatch last-minute victory

National Challenge SE1 League - Sunday 13 January 2013 Richmond 27 v Woodbridge Amazons 22Richmond looked the more organised squad in the opening exchanges as the Amazons probed their defences despite conceding penalties for some silly mistakes. The Amazons pack looked competent however and won the first of many scrums against the head to hold most of the possession but their backs failed to capitalise on it. Richmond's defensive line held well, Allen and O'Leary in particular until their attack improved, coaxing some hard tackles from the Amazons and testing full back Emma Johnson. The

Woodbridge Warriors beat hungry Thurston side

Eastern Counties 1 league match - Saturday 12 January 2013 Woodbridge Warriors 17 v Thurston 13After their recent run of improving results, Woodbridge welcomed bottom-of-the-league Thurston hoping for victory. The visitors had a different idea and attacked from the start having the better of the set pieces and kept Woodbridge pinned in their half for most of the opening quarter. With the wind behind Thurston Ben Sinclair put in some long penetrating kicks and they looked dangerous in the Warrior’s 22, turning the scrum they sustained the attack before mauling from a line out and prop

Warriors weaken against Mersea Island

Match Report Eastern Counties 1 league match - Saturday 15 December 2012 Mersea Island 18 v Woodbridge Warriors 3Woodbridge absorbed some energetic challenges in early skirmishes and clearly intended to play the game in Mersea’s half given they had the slope and wind with them despite heavy going. Mersea mauled from lineouts and their No 8, Brendan Cooke, rampaged from the back of the scrum passing to Mathew Rose who took the ball to the Warriors 22. This forced Josh Kimber to clear from stolen ball but Mersea’s full back, Jordan Day, just ran it back as the tackle count rose,

Amazons fight for well-deserved win against Oakmedians

Match Report: National Challenge SE1 League, Sunday 9 December 2012 Woodbridge Amazons 25 v Oakmeadians 19Woodbridge Amazons started by testing their visitor’s defences with runs from their strong back line, EJ Stearn, Louise Rickard and Vikki Watts fed by Chloe Stopard Baker. This put the Oakmeadians under pressure and forced clearance kicks from Sophia Luxton playing well at 10. Play moved to the Oakmeadian 22 where their big forwards stole possession from the less settled Amazon scrum containing players out of position and new to the team. The home team re-launched attacks from

Match Report Eastern Counties 1 league match - Saturday 1 December 2012 Woodbridge Warriors 21 v Newmarket 18Newmarket started this re-match on the attack with a much changed team from the mid-November game, abandoned due to Ref injury. Warrior Cope took the opening kick well but Newmarket applied pressure on the blind side to get up to the line, forced a scrum and scrum half Carter scored within 4 minutes. The penalties started to mount from both sides which allowed Woodbridge’s Smith to take 3 points at the restart and followed up, as the home team rucked well and forced Newmarket back

Woodbridge Amazons are no match for Blackheath

Match Report: Sunday 25 November 2012 National Challenge SE1 League - Blackheath 54 v Woodbridge Amazons 0After over a month without a match the Amazons started slowly against highly ranked Blackheath, conceding a penalty for Carlton to take 3 points within the same number of minutes. Despite a beautiful artificial pitch and side wind that favoured neither team, Woodbridge looked rusty and indecisive struggling to gain and keep possession due to some poor rucking and scrappy set pieces. In contrast Blackheath were energetic and well organised patiently building play to put first Newby

Woodbridge 2s find victory at Thorpeness

Match Report: Saturday 24 November 2012 Suffolk Merit league - Thorpeness 15 Woodbridge Warriors 2XV 17Woodbridge started playing the better rugby with some strong carries from Connor O'Reilly linking well with his outside back line. Clever play-making immediately paid off as, after a powerful scrum, Sam Jackson popped over in the corner with the conversion missed in a howling wind. With such a wind with them, Thorpeness didn't really use it to much effect and although they scored a breakaway try against the run of play through the centres, which they converted, Woodbridge swiftly

Match Report: Saturday 24 November 2012 Eastern Counties 1 league match - Wymondham 18 v Woodbridge Warriors 12The Woodbridge Warriors headed north over the border to take on top of the league Wymondham. After some late forced changes, Woodbridge prepared for another challenge to be fought in less than ideal conditions. The potency of Wymondham was quick to take a handle on the game with the Warriors having to defend a fiery attack that resulted in a well worked try punched in by Wymondham Hooker Tom Masters in the 7thminute. Woodbridge quickly retaliated punching holes in the Wymondham
