On Sunday we travelled to Horden & Peterlee on one of the wettest days of the year so far.
The game started and the pace was fast from the off as the wind and rain got heavier with each minute. Tags were really hard to grab and Horden scored two really quick tries. Bishop changed tactics and decided to go all out attack and kept the ball moving between each other brilliantly to find gaps and push forward. Lots of tries were had by both sides in a pretty evenly matched game. Both sides came off with smiles on their faces and a lot wetter and muddier.
There was some really great performances by the U8’s this week and their perseverance against the elements was amazing.
Well done to our players of the week, Gracie who had an amazing performance this week. Her positioning, defending and support work to team mates was outstanding and showed no fear in going forward which earned her a few tries to top it off!!
Eva, for her pure determination to out run every one on the pitch, taking a few big knocks but jumping straight back up and getting stuck in, which also earned her a number of great tries.
Well done everyone! An all round great morning of rugby ..... see you at training
Gareth & Chris
