Royal Navy denies Army a 9th successive win

Navy beat Army (24-22)
Twickenham Stadium, 1 May 2010

Army Women still rule the waves

Army Women beat Navy Women (25-11)
Kneller Hall, Twickenham, 1 May 210

Royal Navy Women's version - From the kick off, the Army manage to gather the ball and run towards the Navy's quick defence, but a solo runner is soon stopped in her tracks, and the RN are awarded a penalty as the Army hold onto the ball following the tackle. AB Sam Alderson kicks the ball back into the Army's half for the RN's first lineout of the match. The first ten minutes are evenly matched, although the RN is definitely the dominant side in the scrum, an advantage which is retained throughout the match, much to the Army's annoyance...

Army Veterans keep Mariners at bay

Army Masters beat Ancient Mariners (28-19)
Kneller Hall, Twickenham, 1 May 2010

Ancient Mariner's version - In the shadows of the hallowed Twickenham turf and a under bright blue sky, the Royal Navy Veterans prepared to do battle with the current Rugby Veterans World Champions - the Army Masters - on a glorious pitch in the grounds of the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall. Buoyed by the fact that the Army had been beaten the week before by the RAF Veterans, the Navy set about the game keen to end 4 years of defeats at the hands of the old enemy. Rampant from the off, the RN made significant inroads into the Army side, driven on by direction from Head Coach Lt Mick Connolly. An early break nearly led to WO Bob Toomey (Headley Court) finishing a dynamic move from inside the RN 22, only a tap tackle 10 yards out preventing the score...

Army Masters' version - An overcast morning in the shadow of Twickenham and the Navy kick off; an early blood injury sees Marc Wilding come off for Jamie McMeechan. A mistake at the back of a scrum and the Navy number 9 chips into the corner for a race, which the Navy winger wins, 9 minutes played, 0-5. Mike Nawaqaliva is replaced by Nabs Nabakeke. Lovely hands by the Army and Alfred Vakacoko-Vanua is going over in the corner, however a high tackle halts the play and a yellow card is given to the Navy cover. Struggling to hold the Masters, the Navy are kicking everything but as they kick the ball away the Army take it back. After 25 minutes a penalty by Mark Reed takes the score to 3-5; Nabs Nabakeke is replaced by Alex Biggs... Read the rest of the Army Master's report

Navy rules the airwaves

Navy beat RAF (73-3)
Portsmouth, 10 April 2010

Royal Navy's version - The Royal Navy notched up a resounding victory against a young and spirited Royal Air Force team in Portsmouth on Saturday in the opening match of the Babcock Inter Services Competition. Earlier in the day, the Royal Navy Veterans narrowly missed out after a second half come back, losing by 16 points to 19. This was followed by a well deserved win for the Royal Navy Women by 14 points to 11. With the honours even between the Services, the scene was set for a trilling clash that would see the Royal Navy Senior XV aiming for its 50th win over the men in light blue...
