    #COYQ #Harlequins #LiveRugby

    H Yeah You W H Yeah We Go H [Applause] good afternoon and welcome to a crisp and clear West country whilst cluster may be in the news for having been submerged by rain in recent times we’ve been blessed by the rugby gods for Clear Skies and dry weather for hopefully an afternoon of running rugby as the

    Premiership rugby under 18 League returns and Gloucester host harle quins at Kings home great to be at Kings home great for these Lads to be running out at King’s home as an under 18y old extra added excitement to be wearing the Jersey today here it’s pretty special we talked

    About it all week the emotive value that comes with playing at Kings home um 150 years gluster this year um first under first team whether it’s the women’s men’s um any age group F first team to to play at Kings home this year I it’s it’s always special so they got added

    Responsibility today and look I know that you were disappointed with some of the results uh last year in the academy league but 2024 we’re hitting it fresh and you’ve been working hard so what are the goals now um it’s always cyclical um you know boys are always working hard

    Successful playing programs Chon College de close harur College the ace Champions once again this year so there’s plenty of Talent on show it’s um it’s it’s a case of the boys expressing themselves and showcasing it today for those who haven’t had the opportunity to see gler

    So far this season who are some of those talents give us a few names to keep our eyes peeled for I I think it’d be unfair to to single out um too many um I think our back row have an influence today um some International Quality on our back

    Row um there’s some there’s some young 16y olds out there today as well so there’s some there’s some there experienced an exciting talent to come through but I think it’d be unfair to to single out any names okay and then lastly your opposition today what do you

    Got to get right against quins just defensively I think whether you play quin’s Under 14s or the Quinn’s first team you know what’s coming so um I think if if we can disrupt some set piece and be organized and aggressive in defense as you’d expect from a

    Gloucester side then I think we’ll be somewhere near we’re looking forward to it go well thanks very much thank you right Jared great to see you and we’re looking forward to seeing the academy in action it’s been a few months so what have you and the lads been up to yeah no

    It’s been it’s been uh I our last game kind of back in the summer The Lads themselves and back in school like you know fully focused on their school programs but we’ve had you know a few sessions on Monday nights we had a camp uh at Seaford over the over the holidays

    Um so I think we’re well prepared we also had uh couple day sessions last week as the lad were still off school so everyone’s looking forward to today you know great weather great place to come is King’s home so can’t wait coming off the back of the action in August what

    Some of the things that you’ve been focusing on in that period on those camps and in those Monday night sessions ahead of you know today’s fixture and the ones to come yeah for sure I think the things we’ve mainly looked at are probably more accurate in the in the 22

    So how can we get over the tri line more and and working on our systems and processes there and also probably how can we exit better uh in our own 22 so kind of had a big focus on either either end of the pitch really um so hopefully

    We’ll see that come to uh the four today and the Personnel who’s out there today I know you’ll be excited to see the team as a unit but any particular players you’re looking forward to seeing in action um yeah I think I think Jimmy Sables our captain is always um a big

    Player for us you know great leader tough guy um he’ll be very important for us today oi streer a tight head good Ball Carrier um Elliot Williams he’s under 17 guy but he’s G really really well um you know Ben webs got a great kicking game a fly half um and some good

    Pace out wide as well so you know Isaac and Tyler and and Elliot so hopefully we can give them some opportunities today so that’s the current crop but let’s just have a little chat about last year’s crop because three of them named in the England under 20s side to play uh

    Coming up Lucas Schmid Josh Bellamy and Shan K you must be immensely proud and it’s a great reflection of what the program’s doing yeah I think for sure that’s what it’s all about really isn’t it it’s great to see you know those guys move into the you know the first te

    Environment with with senior Academy contracts and you know push into with England 20s and hopefully they’ll be you know we’ll see them play for um in in the Six Nations but uh know it’s fantastic they’ve been great um so it’s a big adjustment going into kind of full-time rugby from the under 18s

    Program but I feel we prepare them well and hopefully we’ll see guys playing here today that will uh be wearing the Quin Jersey at the St in a few years time we look forward to seeing the next ones off the conveyor belt us also thank you very

    Much well quins are looking to continue their undefeated run which admittedly is only one game but against the toughest of outfits London South Central which they knocked back many months ago and they’re calling upon quite a few of the 15 that delivered that victory at cin

    Back in August Zuko Rob who was due to be with England 18 in the summer but was denied the opportunity through late injury is in for a starting birth wearing the 13 Jersey and he’s got outside him the rapid pace of Isaac Manuel a tri scorer in that victory

    Against the old London Irish Jimmy Staples always leads from the front as the captain at Hooker and Quinn Singh is a hard-hitting hooker who has been repurposed in the number six jersey but will also provide cover in the front row there are five under 17s in this 23

    Today Testament to the depth with which the harle Quinn’s Academy are nurturing two of those under 17s Ben Charles and math Jones a Welsh lad who’s not too far from home from across the bridge he’s been starting at 10 for Gordon in the Ace league and will be looking to make

    His Mark when he comes to make impact From the Bench for the homeside cler they’re looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the campaign a last play lost to London South Central denied them an opening round Victory before West country bragging rights were well and

    Truly taken by the Bristol bears but they have Tri scorers in their midst Rafe Campbell comes in with a hattick under his belt from their friendly against the boys club of Wales in the December and James lilwall was one of the TR scorers in that West country

    Clash Billy kurley Jon o balding they’ve also crossed the paint in recent times and Kyo James the hardh hitting open side captains the side in a menacing back row plenty of Firepower from a full bench from Gloucester that includes five heartbreak College individuals that is five of the nine involved in the match

    Day 23 so plenty of Club cohesion in their midst ready to make their mark from the pine well the decibels AR Rising nicely here at kings’s home it’s a king’s home that is free to enter today so if you’re tuning in any anywhere around glossi and think you can make it in time

    Then we invite you down here to watch the finest Academy action in the county and the arrival of a harle Quinn’s Academy outfit that has some real quality and some real history you heard there from head coach Jered Mullen the successes Lucas Schmid Shan Kerr Josh Bellamy all

    Three involved for England 20s in the upcoming Six Nations one of the probably most exciting competitions of the Six Nations amongst the men the women and the age grades lost to have representation there too and for these glosta Lads they stride out in their jerseys presented to

    Them by senior Club Captain Lewis llo who’s in and amongst the group today he doesn’t have an official with the academy when I was chatting to Matt Teague before the match he just said he loves the club and he’s here to inspire the next generation of cherry and

    Whites the cherry and whites tights clear on their mission today register that first Victory against a talented Quinn’s side who really zi the ball around against London South Central all those many months ago in Cobin they are dealing with a few injuries no Lucas Friday no Ronan Daniel Isaac Buck or James

    Davies but sufficient Faith from the coaches in all these young men including that cohort of under 17s Ben web in the 10 Jersey readies himself and kicks long kicks high and kicks tight to the touchline a really tricky one for Campbell to take and does well spinning away from the touchline

    Danger a smart exit perfectly placed and Al Elliot Southworth who studies at heartbreak so we’ll know all about what this West country ground is about and what gluster represents just watches that one into touch we get our first sighting of the line out set piece quins just bringing in a candidate late

    In the day straight off the top and well that’s quinc sing lurking just behind the shoulder of Webb very Dynamic back row come hooker good patterns from Quinn’s early looking to flash down that right side finding some room finding some electricity and pump action fenders well explosive power and Quinn’s into the 22

    Good line speed from gler styes the Quinn’s attack momentarily and sings Back on the ball takes one takes two takes three red jerseys to meet Him well the hard line not taken on and now quin’s forwards lining up instead it’s Rory Minon Round the Corner they go more work for Singh but the turnover Supreme from Gloucester and a big moment already delivered by the captain Kyo James well how about this from Tyler

    Stewart parsley new arrival into the academy program in October got brought in was given his opportunity against Northampton Saints in a friendly you can see exactly why he’s been retained you can see exactly why Kyo James is such a Talisman for this gloss the side with a turnover like

    That the gloser line out looking good and fizzed by James lwal straight off and a bit of a mix up though in the Midfield and an unwelcome error presents quins with a lovely bit of field position for the first scrum of the match well the ball from

    Lwal just threaded into a corridor of uncertainty that no one including Soul Shand claimed so quins have a big Blindside here they’ve got Stewart parsley on his own out to the right in the 15 M Channel with a huge Blindside to work with Ben Webers stationed directly

    Behind the scrum Tyler is just outside of shot there and there’s two gler players already deployed to Mark him and they do go to the right but they don’t find their way to Stewart parsley but they do find their way to the doorstep of the 22 little bit slow from Quinn the option

    Was there to use the ball in a more timely manner this time they zip it away good option to Dart inside there from Minon the Seaford college boy Ben Webb just directs the traffic to the right authoritative at fly half and his scrum half Morgan Parnell goes for a little

    Surge web charged down no one claims it and well fortunately for Quinn it was penalty Advantage otherwise OE allport would have been setting saell for the tri line the quins with all the pressure with all the territory with all the Precision for that touch finder that has been pinned perfectly into the

    Corner position a from Ben web who bananas it round inside the touch judge so quins 5 MERS out they’re driving more weaponized to Great effects against London South Central but on this occasion pford by Jon o barding and James lilwall makes absolutely certain of the [Applause] clearance

    Well I passed Jon o boarding in the tunnel before the game and he has levers for days that young man he’s a really Troublesome Tower to get over the top of at the front he’s just putting his arm up there and you can just see quite what an obstacle he’s going to

    Be for the Quinn’s line out so much so they’re forced to the tail and the darts not true enough and a scrum to gler so an early bit of problem solving for Jimmy Staples and his Packers as far as the lineup’s concerned the scrum it’s a tussle lot of movement in

    There between the eight Quinns with a bit of a nudge Lil Bol in a hurry to ship it out but already the whistle blown just a bit of a paus in play for some attention to appears to be a blooded Quinn not Quinn Singh just to clarify a har

    Quinn but it’s only a bit of paint work which is promptly buffed out by the medical staff and lwal sets to insert the ball into the reset scrub well the Scrump moving in all manner of directions apart from forward and back it moved to the side and illegally

    So a penalty to the home side and take 40 puts a big left boots through it but he pulls it round and ban is it away from the touch line he will get a chance to put something more meaningful up he goes high he goes contestable and

    Invites his halfback partner to Chase he can’t quite Wrangle par now he burst through a few tackles and there’s sand doing what he’s known for the physicality the confrontation and quins looking to get outside that 13th Channel but it’s strong defense from oie renle not rolling away Well we finds a re more touch he’ll do well to beat that first attempt won’t he but very accompli young man at fly half adep to steering both the pack around the field an orchestrating the attacking intense of his backs he’s got Quinn Singh perched on his right shoulder but first things

    First win the line out and they do for the first time in three sing brought in then just slips it on to O Kelly o Kelly with the step o Kelly with the wheels o Kelly with a Wonder finish the back rows [Applause] combine and quins have the first score of the

    Match well finally clean ball and the prospects of seeing running hard seduced the defense oh Kelly was steaming on at a wonderful angle it was this SLP ball that pace and then a bounce and an arc around the last man leaving Rafe Campbell for dead and quins and web with the simplest

    Of conversions and it’s the visitors who lead seven points to nil with just over 10 minutes gone well Kelly can often be found in the second row Quinn’s opting to use him as a back row today for his physicality cuz they know what can bring but really seeing some of the the

    Depthness and the speed and the softer [Applause] stuff as quins are put right under pressure with Isaac Manuel just about managed into touch looking to get around his opposite man and well he can consider himself unlucky he tried his absolute best to find the inside Ball but Campbell maybe smart from having

    Been rounded by a back row swinging him into touch up goes baling and off goes allport bringing in Campbell who takes a nice line himself and gler to within 10 forwards arrive Jay Evans the man Lil wall feeding barding off he goes again tackled low around the [Applause] ankles but Lil

    Wal is impeded by Quinn’s being offside so just the response that gler wanted is it points or is it the [Applause] corner well the option from Tate 40 is for the touch line doesn’t gain any meters but gler have the throw and gler have the ultimate Banker in Jon

    Balding here they put up in the middle and they build a drive around him stagnates momentarily before the fabric of the drive shifts and shapes and begins to creep forward and King’s home begins to get a little bit noisy the murmurs of anticipation and Shand Unleashed but quite brilliantly held [Applause] Up he went bursting through and wow he doesn’t just score tries he saves them as well Jacko Kelly a huge few minutes for the quin’s open side and a huge carry from Kyo James Shan the man just denied and lovely Fizz on the pass and lust the hands came out to greet it

    I’m not sure if they were the ones they were intended for because if it got outside that first man gler were on The short side being exploited with Isaac Manuel but Campbell’s really got his match out there well it’s not Campbell I beg your pardon it’s James lilwall who has clearly profited from a two for one deal at the local Barbers with rith Campbell couple of bushy moaid boys out

    There Kaio James skips out Campbell finds Lil wall who feeds Shand and Shand barrels through for a few meters into the Midfield gloss to go change of direction from Reuben Cummings just about into the 22 lilwall looks for a big man once again Kell’s there making a hit ferocious defense Quinn’s determined

    To keep glester from breaking the 22 he might have a chance here smuggled through to Walker who came at PACE LOL Sparks the speed again but the next pass goes behind Campbell and the opportunity lost by gler [Applause] Quins still under bit of pressure here and very much from their own doing from their inability to exit cleanly after the O Kelly try cler turn the screw in the scrum and Zuko Rob goes Route One P out spots Campbell slightly out of position but he gathers it well gathers

    It nicely and puts it on a CL into the corner if that trickles out it’s a big 5022 to [Applause] gluster well wasn’t a 5022 a 6522 from the right winger wonderful identification of space over Parnell it required a big set of places a bit of good fortune on the bounce but

    Gler have it in boing’s hands and they’re all set and ready to rumble forward again nice peel round to the left and they win themselves a penalty so attacking with house money Shan careers over one takes two more quins to bring him down gobbling up quter jerseys and Kyo James is reaching

    For the line but another back row denied with the paint under their nose the referee was right on the spot wasn’t he couldn’t be better placed gler continue to exert pressure but continue to be denied they need to come away with points from this passage which

    Has been going on for nearly 10 minutes now Cummings to boarding if it ain’t broke don’t fix it Kyo James has another surge spun away lost the 3 m short they drop the ball backwards Billy Kur Lake Shand cropping up in the Midfield again such industry from The

    Blind Side and that’s a nice line at PACE just mixing up the pace of the attack Chand flat to the line but greeted by two heavy Harlequin shoulders Lil wal just looking for an Avenue but can’t find one again not enough sympathy on the pass and spilt forward by Jack

    Hopson Quin repel gler again he Quinn’s defense has been hugely impressive hasn’t it thus far they’ve survived the sternest of examinations you do Wonder just how long can they survive under that scrutiny hemmed back in their 22 for such a long time P out to Rob same medicine dished out by the outside

    Center gler aren’t for giving off easy meterage themselves that’s pillar built Parell who was formerly a center before transitioning to scrum half age 16 puts the Box up finds Campbell who bounces off his opposite man and his slingshot inside ball meets the grip of O Kelly again who

    Is having a stellar opening quarter here Jimmy Staples sense to the Quinn’s back line balding into the line and lets one slip from his grip characteristically and quinnn Singh Hoovers up the crumbs and makes a few meters out of it as well immediately Pell looks for green grass behind

    Campbell but he doesn’t find [Applause] any almost very very nicely judged L wall there and Woody Walker sends one high and contest the ball collect it himself but there’s escorting and there’s obstruction it’s a fine line that rugby players flirt with but on this occasion flirted with too much there he is

    Well it’s a marginal move but maybe the theatrical arms in the air from Billy kley gave the game up just like that quins are free a penalty to send them up to gloucester’s 22 what a wounder this would be for the homide if quins were to find a way to Garner some

    Points from this slender time in the Gloucester half in comes Rob who uses all Port as a speed bump Well nicely out of the blind spot and Quinn’s Into the Heart of the Gloucester 22 another good carry but brilliant hit split in half inside ball Quinns to within six M but that is precision the jackling Jaws clamped down just when they needed to be at their hungriest

    And Kyo James again the man at the bottom of all of that touch missed a chance for quins gler disorganized they need to get their defensive line sorted as they look fractured they just about managed to get their ducks in a row Kyo James is a oneman crime crime wave right

    Now hining down once again three quality turnovers in this half alone and gler are back to where they want to [Applause] be made so Ben jles has just strowed onto the field wearing 20 stationed himself in the inside Center channel for quins he won’t have to do any

    Defending because it’s a messy line out but it’s one that at the end of all that yields a scrum to gler few changes coming now for Quin who are cycling their bench Sam line wearing 21 Into The Fray and it looks like maybe matth Jones as well [Applause]

    So Ben web and more and Parnell Make Way for a fresh halfback bearing they’ve got about 8 minutes to negotiate before the halftime break Quinn’s leading by virtue of that converted Jacko Kelly try moments of real attacking quality the only one to truly unlock either of the defenses so far this afternoon [Applause]

    Well the scrum literally splits into two pieces but Quin are not driving straight so again penalized with a penalty and again gler send it to the corner how many opportunities have they had they are pretty much guaranteed ball from the a or set piece such is the connection between Cummings and

    Boarding it’s a question of whether they can convert it bing climbs High says he’s done all afternoon and this time the peel nice and quick down to the floor it goes gler fighting to get it to the grass and off goes the captain borrowing through drop short one M

    Short the CL cluster of bodies red jerseys swarming round with intent and the counter from Quinn so good is it enough to see it the ball spurts out it’s all unstructured now as 40 takes it on James pumps the Pistons again he’s short over the top this time and that’s

    The answer they couldn’t go through they couldn’t go around but over the top they go and Jay Evans finally breaks the Quinn’s defensive resolve for a moment it looked like Quin had stolen that 40 hoovered up the mess another burst from two forwards and the captain denied again for Jay

    Evans planted it down and presented the simplest of conversion opportunities and Gloucester finally rewarded for all their possession all their [Applause] territory and they level the match up seven a piece we just under 5 minutes to Go [Applause] quins go out on the fall so more possession for Gloucester Boy by the try the reward for all their Endeavor with plenty of time and some pretty DEC field position to launch another strike before the half is done James lilwall of Sir Thomas riches getting it in and setting Ole allport

    Off it continues to take off blasting opposition into orbit wood he Walker into the line Lil wall borrowing looking for Shan who’s always looking for work Quin fast off the line 40 steps inside as the options get closed off out the back this time Woody Walker lovely pass the boarding who injects himself

    Invites Cummings to motor glester into the 22 again soft hands and Shan once more out the back bit bere of options further wide so taking it on was the right call there [Applause] James lwol Walker to CBO tackled low does well to stay in field Shand will carry

    Shand will Miss’s Way Forward then goes allport it all started with his carry off the base then James the wind in these Gloucester sails their back row working so hard quins have had to make so many tackles in this half almost as many as the carries of

    Solan still they wrap to the left still they look for an opening Woody Walker weaves through a couple of tackles and glosser a 3 m shy no subtlety here the battering ram in the hands of James L Wal but knocked on in the close contact and quins survive once again been a huge defensive display from the boys in quarters and that counter rock as well fortunately there’s no Premiership V cuz I’m not sure about that slide tackle at the end the quins have around about 30 seconds

    Left to negotiate in this half a half which they’ve LED for the Lion Share but in truth have spent the majority of right here where we’re stationed now defending their Gates so well I’m sure the message will be to get more time on the ball they’ll

    Be a lot of pride in the manner in which they’ve held firm only one try conceded and took 30 minutes for that to come but hassled and harried too early too exuberantly Quinns get the penalty I should remind you that our clock is not precisely in time with that of our

    Referees but it is enough that his is in the red as is in the red and that is halime here at King’s home and there’s nothing between [Applause] them a try piece for these respective under 18 Academy Premiership sides both converted and with the teams heading to

    The sheds at Hal time here at Kings home it’s Gloucester 7 harle Quinn 7 but if you’re looking for first half highlights it was an explosive start from Quinns and Tyler Stewart parsley explosive in every nature of the word it’s the only time we’ve been able to see the destructive Winger in full

    Flight but from that bright opening Quin had some dominance and they deployed their back row namely Jacko Kelly on a perfect line that pierced the Gloucester defense before he bounced off his right boot round the last man and had the pace to burn the defense and finish smartly underneath the

    Uprights that though was about as good as it got for quins because they were in allout defensive mode for the rest of the half Jacko Kelly no sooner had he scored was he preserving the Quinn’s try line some fine moments interspersed between it all including that Sensational 5022 from ra

    Campbell Gloucester continued to batter at the Quinn’s Tri line their back row with real Menace out there and the captain Kyo James prominent throughout but not prominent enough to find himself undenied James was involved heavily in the next passage one that saw Quinn scrapping and almost turning the ball

    Over through their counter racking efforts but they could only hold out for so long Kyo James with another nuzzle and once again short before Jay Evans had the presence of mind to go over the undefended top and the conversion leveled up the match a fabulous break from the base of

    The scrum from mly allport was another highlights to close out the half but as it is at King’s home it’s glost at 7 Harley Quinn 7 all to play for in the second 35 minutes E out e e for E for call for e on You the team’s out the batteries recharged and Ambitions renewed 35 minutes not a point between them and gler kicking in to Harley Quinn arms with the score seven a piece and gler coming up with not just the knock on but then the accidental offside the men in front playing the ball and having

    Spent well the best part of half an hour of that first half Shackled In Their 22 they’ve senten themselves to another tense period of pressure defending their own line just popped into the corner by Tate 40 who’s growing in confidence the 10 and also we were seeing the emergence of

    Woody Walker as that second play maker in the latter stages but for once Cummings and boarding the line out umbilical cord breaks down oh Kelly first to respond quins looking for the edge quins with Pace with Tyler Shu parsley who we’ve already seen a glimpse of explode into tackles but he’s picked

    Up and frog March cross the the touch line by Kyo James like a Dorman ejecting someone from a nightclub Stewart parsley his first touch in the first half left gloss the PS scrambling on the floor but on this occasion James taking matters into his own hands Shan so

    Industrious so purposeful in the way that he moves sh parley spun on his heels got red jerseys around him including leis koow he does well the Quinn buys enough time for his support to arrive and then a big shot comes in from Alex boswa callow in the action again Cummings

    Sniffing around for the [Applause] Jackal gler are invited to counter from within their own half and Shan how many carries has that Blindside made indefatigable and his go forward creates space for gler outout towards the 15 M Channel but they leave the most press precious the packages behind the ball Great Adventure from the cherry and

    Whites no doubt are boyed by that Jersey presentation from Lewis llo earlier down in the changing rooms he was out there during the warm-ups he was out there for the pregame huddle hasn’t got himself a role in an official capacity with the academy but he just bleeds cherry and white the senior

    Captain great inspiration for this Academy side who at the moment are dominant but they don’t have the points to show they break away not through their own doing as the ball squirts out but come Cummings still driving forward with bodies of quins and Gloucester players alike jenard Underneath

    Him and gluster for a third time a held up over the Harley Quinn’s Line off goes o allport still goes o Ora o Ora oh that is outrageous a wrecking ball Masterpiece of a try with Pace Poise and power all the way into the leftand corner of King’s home but here he is through one he had the cover coming across he had the strength

    He had the balance a score to remember for the dean close number eight Ole allport and almost the conversion to match but gler will set up for the five-pointer An absolutely deserving of their lead holy allport we saw a glimpse of him in full fly in the dying Embers of that first half off the base of the scrum but that was him at his very best Quin they need a spark they don’t just need that they

    Need a bit of time time in gler territory time on the ball and they should get some here Isaac Manuel offers himself but he doesn’t receive it because instead off goes math James best field position so far for Quin Jones almost throws an interception and instead it’s dropped by Ben web just

    Dying on his laces from the scrappiness that follows the referee just says let’s bring it back for the scrum but lovely little look at math Jones there very smart young player opened up for him and well had it been anyone other than Kyo James you’d suspect that that s side

    Step may have evaded the tackle in front of Him that next offering little Suboptimal Off goes allport who is full of running full of beans and has himself a penalty Snappy hands slick hands hands the Campbell he skirts inside and CHS real burst as well to meet Zuko Rob oh po all action just dribble through and the race starts before a bit of hindrance

    And well all the way back back to the penalty in feel that cler had ample Advantage there having made the break down the right Edge and and created the opportunity to race through after the kick But they get the penalty and they send themselves up to pretty much the same spot although they will will have the throw [Applause] in coming to boarding bit of competition in the air almost unsettled the harbury duo but glost to Come Away With It Walker puts a tricky kick through but

    The bounce works out all right for quins Walkers there again kcks out Jones Jones lovely feet lovely sort of Disguise on his intentions cball looking for his second 5022 of the match match Walker wow that looks forward he’s got away with that and gler may have gotten away with even more another

    5022 to the Cherry and whites wasn’t the best kick but undefended grass you allow it to bounce especially on one of these 4G pitches you are liable to get a bit of roll Woody Walker collects it I’ll ask you to be the judge of this one no comments from up Here bler not hanging around to see if the decision would go against against them they have taken the maximum from it in that it’s their put in allport invites Campbell to come in Against the Grain and it takes a few quarter jerseys to bring him down Shand apprehended in the

    Middle before the tri scorer seiz the pawn Jay Evans brought down by three Quins lost the forwards lurking with intent as James lilwall is sent in digging this time he scoots it out looking for the edge but the attentions of Manuel but too much if he gets free it could be try time but just about reeled in by koow you just heard the energy rise from

    The travel support the moment that Isaac Manuel got on the ball there and from all that sag lost the body well no it’s offer Quinn’s player and it will be gloss the ball by the looks of [Applause] things well a few Replacements into some influential players as well James

    Lilwall has had a very good outing very busy there’s a replacement receiv receives the ball off the top and of course of course the ball makes its way out to The Blind Side that’s a nice show and a look inside the final ball picked off by a Quinn Hara Quinn’s absolutely starved of

    Meaningful possession since the oal try they’re left behind and Woody Walker is first to it just a look from K to The Blind Side but no one was there to help him so instead Josh Pierce Feats his captain he was a tough man to shift Kyo little tip on to Alex Bosworth at

    PACE and all the decisions are going the home team’s way at the moment [Applause] see some time to pause some time to stop the clock and some time for Alex Bosworth to just collect himself and for us to reflect on just show 50 minutes that may have

    Only delivered three tries but has felt like Relentless action and the prevailing winds of confidence and dominance really traveling only in one direction from Red onto quarter chores L the so dominant in attack so dominant in their possession but you absolutely must applaud the Quinn’s defensive efforts fortunately we don’t carry live

    Stats on the games but the adventure that Quinns are at least twice as many tackles as Gloucester if not three times you heard before the game that Matt te felt that his back row would have a big say in the outcome and right there in the heart of it is Kyo James

    The captain who alongside Soul Shand have done the nitty-gritty they’ve done the unglamorous stuff they’ve allowed H allport to increasingly thrive in the 8 Jersey crescendoed by that quite marvelous solo score down the Left Flank very very tight group down there hardly a meter between anyone in

    Red at the moment they really sense that they could be able to register their first victory of their under 18 campaign heartbreak against London Irish in the last play of the game and then a chasing day against the [Applause] Bears well Gloster do as they’ve done many many times

    Already this afternoon they put boot to ball from the penalty they put themselves into a potentially frui launch Spot Bing sent up Shan latching on and Quinn’s looking to sack but ler have done well to keep them all on on its feet now things beginning to break up the tangle of red and quarter jerseys in there you wonder who’s on the ball and it looks like Jacko Kelly

    Is well he managed to latch on to Ruben Cummings in there as the moall went to ground but an illegal entry already spotted by the referee means another penalty and another Journey to the corner loster 12 har quins seven 20 minutes remaining almost said harbury There It Is Harley quins B slips through boing’s hands but Ellis Allen is the first to respond quins steady themselves for another defensive sets 64 of them already in the [Applause] match and the numbers Rising steeply Jay Evans the next to taste a harle Quinn Shoulder well the the Run was offered by Billy Benson and then he had to stutter and he lost his momentum and from the resulting carry he’s been turned over quins what do they do from here well their Adventure hasn’t been remotely quelled and they tap and they go and well that is that’s

    Tough looking to inject some Tempo into the game there Sam line taken back by the referee but quins are out of their 22 they’ve got a line out couple more replacements for gler coming on Josh Hansen and kayn Freeman price and also Oro Clark of Radley College Into The Fray wearing 16 Quin

    Finally get an opportunity to play play with a bit of good Ball but the accuracy isn’t there Zuko Rob has to Scamper back and quins lose their [Applause] Momentum nice spiral clearance from Ben Webb outs to Lewis callow for gler who surveys the scene oh and he’s Fork lifted back across the halfway line big carry from Ellis Allen riding over the challenge of Milo Raina Parking delayed ball opens things up down the right edge off goes ra Campbell but a brilliant tackle to fell him just as the line was beckoning outstanding defense once again from [Applause] quins wonderful soft hands and perfect timing to present OE renle with the opportunity to set Campbell free but

    What what about that for a tackle an injury concern to a Quinn and it’s remarkable really it’s the only bit of attention that I can remember for any of the Harley Quinn’s players and you think about the punishment that they’ve taken the number of tackles that they’ve been forced to make impressive of

    Durability from these young men as a reminder that there’s five under 17y olds in the ranks so 16 years old and some not long 17 engaging in an afternoon of quite beautiful brutality if you don’t mind me saying between two fated clubs of English rugby Manuel wraps himself around the

    Corner then skips around the outside back door Boogie here come Quinn Zuko Rob opens things up with a kick and invites Elliot Southworth to pin his ears back well dropping down his T 40 and unfortunately for Southworth he dropped down to have to let the play get back up you

    Can’t just fall on him but Isaac Manuel he always looks so [Applause] [Applause] hungry o Clark goes to the tail and mixing it up glost the Miss o Kelly receives an offload quins got a bit of room here they’ve got some numbers Southworth arriving and into the 22 big big big carry pierces the Gloucester Line This is Good from quins

    The best they’ve been all half shuddering hit from Freeman price Quin 5 m short another good tackle coming in but still Quinn’s chew through the meters a late arrival from Elliot Williams quin’s look to punch through the middle they’re so close they got all the numbers on the left but still they borrow

    Close congested with all the jerseys and the post and the try awarded Quin of [Applause] level well it feels remarkable it feels improbable given the dominance in so many facets of the match that Quinn’s should be level they odds on to go one better the conversion right in front of the

    Upright down to go over as we look at the first real concerted passage of quality attacking play the conversion SS over and quins extraordinarily have the lead meter by meter inch by [Applause] inch I feel like you need an x-ray machine to figure out who got that down

    It might just have been Raina parking I think someone with a number 18 on their back there so gler 12 Harley quin’s 14 approaching the hour mark and a high tackle is not what har quins needed at this stage because it’s a penalty and a yellow card

    Quins will see out the line share of this Match with just 14 men to go baling takes a testing Ball initial shump back from Quinn’s and then the roll and the fracture and the referee’s arm out in favor of Gloucester so they’ll attack knowing they got a penalty in their back pocket Harry toi goes direct four the kick to nothing does just that comes to nothing

    We’ll be heading back to the corner for a all indiscretion here’s a look at that yellow card footwork from Woody Walker and well it’s not malicious but it’s certainly lazy and it was RIT large across his face the moment that the whistle blasted [Applause] let [Applause]

    Go over throw Quin Come Away with the ball and lovely little pop inside to Emanuel but he Stripped by call and there’s real noise in there home of gler rugby King’s home now nice little transfer out the backat numbers here of gler canor Woody Walker takes it on

    Himself forwards come searching BR the corner and that is a big man put on his backside in the form of Ellis Allen shuddering hits from quins who continue to work so hard a hint of obstruction there and that’s a brilliant pass under immense pressure koow skips round o’ Kelly can’t escape the clutches

    Of the next Defender the intensity ramped up for these closing [Applause] minutes well it’s a pass to no one when there was loads of opportunity but Woody walk has done so well one last gathered exquisitly miraculously by Rafe Campbell and gler have a score to take them into the [Applause]

    Lead well from this pass you thought the opportunity had gone but Walker who’s been becoming increasingly prominent found a way I mean he stretched every last inch of the extremities of Campbell and somehow even traveling at PACE he had a sticky enough grip to pull it in and find the Finish

    And the pendulum swings once more in favor of the home Side a decent attempt from the conversion but no points to add three points the difference and six and a half minutes to Go this contest seems destined to have at least one more twist in the tail this fixture rather making up an unofficial Trilogy between these sides over the festive and New Year period the two great clubs met at twickham for the big game lost a heart breath at the women’s Affair Quinn’s

    Edge the men’s seniors and here the academy sides giving every last drop of sweat and Endeavor here for under 18 bragging rights Quinn’s Miss touch and they sacrific quite a bit of field position to go early Southworth did look outside for the passing he got it away there were caued

    Jerseys instead quins are just about across the halfway line then they get up and go without releasing Ole alport with the [Applause] Tackle just think was that the right call for quins to go early the touch probably was somewhere between gloucester’s 10 and 22 but in their urgency they went quickly from in their own half and here they are now defending a line out in their 22 quins remember playing with 14 still by virtue

    Of the yellow C that is still to be served Campbell has a Juggle that’s a nice ball to wport and it’s the first time we’ve seen him carry through the Midfield from the lineup and he makes meters Here Comes Allen still Allen 5 m short is this the

    Cuda gra for gler is this the captain’s try to seal the deal Kyo James has been imperious all afternoon and he may just have secured the W for gler an immense carry from Ellis Allen to fracture the Quinn’s defense and then the speed of recycle and then the desire of Kyo

    James this is the key carry one two and a few more meters to boot the quick clear the pounce from James and the wrestle to the line and the conversion to [Applause] be gler have a 10-point cushion and quins very very little time to overturn the [Applause] deficit restore to the full compliment

    As the simin is served they need the ball back and they need to do something with it immediately job one accomplished the ball just goes to plastic grass and then to red Red Hands the game is glou but Quinn’s turn it over and now Quin Singh does look inside

    Maybe it was wiser to go outside because he got swallowed up by Ollie Renle straight up approaching the final 60 seconds according to our clock remember there is a bit of leeway between our time piece and that of the referees Quin go to the front they barrel down the touch line cluster celebrate knowing that there isn’t much rugby left and each little win is another

    Contribution to what will be a mighty win for them quins have showed immense character throughout this game they have showed impressive defensive desire they’ve shown an absolute refusal at times to be broken unfortunately the weight of attack the weight of Relentless attack from Gloucester has in the end told

    But is there a chance here still for a losing bonus point no try bonus Point available having scored just the two but Quin would certainly be worthy of something to take back along the M4 to West [Applause] London Kelly he started the scoring Stuart parsley with one final error

    And victory for gler at King’s home on their big occasion here at the home of Gloucester rugby in the year that they celebrate 150 years a bonus point to boot inspired by their imperious back row for Quinn’s disappointment as their under defeated record goes but it doesn’t go without a fight

    Incredible application incredible dedication to their defense throughout and still with the quality to cross the gler whitewash on two occasions but fulltime at Kings home it is glester 24 Harley quins 14 bu a thrilling match so much to talk about in six wonderful tries to celebrate the

    First was to Quinns where their Bright Start was rewarded with a fine fine finish from Jack O Kelly who contributed an awful lot both sides of the ball throughout the match gloss that were made to toil they battered away at the harle Quinn’s line relentlessly they were held up on

    Occasions but eventually Jay Evans had the presence of mind to use his large frame to reach over the top of the breakdown and plant the ball down this was a worldy this is one you will see a few more times on social media Ole Alla weaving round the edge of the quin’s defense

    For a brilliant score and glester continued their dominance for the entirety of the half that quins they still found a way to fight back they found a way to draw level and from the conversion from this try that was scored through sheer will they took the lead and led

    142 and we’re 10 minutes to go the turning point unfortunately came in the form of a yellow card har Quinn’s reduced to 14 and it seems to give cluster just enough Edge to go on and win the match you thought this opportunity may have gone begging with the erant pass

    But smart feet from Woody Walker and the stickiest the fingers from raai Campbell and the gluster Leed and then with the game still in the balance in the dying Embers of the match a big bulck and carry from Ellis Allen gave glosser the impetus and Kyo James the captain the opportunity to

    Seal the match and hand loster a famous Victory on the king’s home pitch against old rivals harle quins plenty of positives to take from that group and from those coaches they’re going to learn so much the under 17s will follow here at Kings home but for us here on the stream for

    Today we thank you for joining us and we will see you again next time for Premiership rugby under 18 League action but it’s fulltime at Kings home Gloucester Victorious 2414 against hols [Applause] 3 left everybody you
