Today we met a very well drilled Durham City on a lovely autumn morning.
Team 1, We were a bit slow to start but soon got in the swing of the game. Some good tries from Milan and Teddie then came the power from Fredrick and Harley. The starts were a bit slow but we got there with a fantastic pick up try from Grace with amazing pressure where Durham fumbled the ball and from there with the tempo turning. The amazing U9's took the game to them with runs from everyone and fantastic tackling from the all the girls and Robert that got us to the finish. Brilliant team effort from all and this week's player of the week is Teddie with a hat full of tries, great power and fantastic pressure from kick offs well done!
Team 2, Fantastic effort from all I was blown away at the team work, passing and organisation (you think we had coached it!) not one forward pass in both games and never offside, the first game was literally perfect and couldn’t find any fault at all, lots of great team tries and some crunching tackles. Game 2 going forward we again looked great, loads of support and the offloads continued to be devastating, the tackling however dropped off with a little bit of tiredness creeping in but an all-round great performance against a well drilled Durham side. Man of the match was Coby for his direct running, good tackles and consistency through both matches.
Well done to all our kids you are awesome from your super proud coaching team!
