Somerton’s U18’s Girls Rugby Scrum Half/Fly Half Emily Foster-Godley has been successful and selected for England Rugby Centre Of Excellence Program. From Emily’s representation this season for Somerset U18’s which the team come away unbeaten after playing Gloucestershire, Cornwall and Dorset & Wilts she was proudly offered the opportunity to attend trials on Sunday 18th February which was also attended by players from all the South West Counties, the trials consisted of a full day of tests, fitness and rugby drills being closely evaluated by assesses and selectors. Being offered a place in the England Rugby CoE program is a huge achievement and recognition for all her hard work, we wish her all the success for the future. Messages: Goff Rumbles – SRFC President – ”Brilliant news!! Well done Emily very proud of you” Gary Saunders – Senior Team Captain & Coach – ”Well done Emily, what an achievement. Congratulations from all the senior men’s side at Somerton RFC” Steve Roberston – Yeovil U18’s Girls Rugby Coach – ” Well done Em, professional attitude is an example to us all. I’m really thrilled to see this, well done” 3 Somerton RFC v Winscombe II – Saturday 3 February 2018 Somerton welcomed Winscombe II to their Gassons Lane ground on this cold Saturday afternoon with pitch conditions underfoot very slippery and a likely greasy ball making clean handling difficult. Somerton got the game underway and it looked a very even contest for the first 6-8 minutes until Winscombe’s number 11 charged upfield with pace from the half-way line being brought down just short of the try line by Somerton’s full back, Toby Pitman. The ball was quickly recyled by Winscombe and good hands saw play continue infield with a forward touching down just right of the posts with a good conversion kick to follow. For the next 10 minutes or so, Somerton were very busy forcing play in the Winscombe half with some good runs by Luke Conway up the left wing with some desperate defence required on Winscombe’s part to thwart the breakthrough Somerton sought. Somerton continued to assert pressure with some very positive phases close to the Winscombe line. Their reward came after 23 minutes when powerful centre, Matt Crunden, touched down for a well-deserved try with Chris Burrows gaining the extras. With the scores now level there was little to choose between the sides but Winscombe’s pack looked very strong and organised and were gaining confidence in the set piece. Winscombe’s second try came on the half-hour when a rolling maul was well executed leading to a push-over try. The conversion kick was missed. For the remainder of the half, it was Winscombe who looked like they would score again and replicated their second score
