U14s Match Report: Gritty Display Against Rossendale

What a difference a week makes! After a tough outing last Sunday, our Under 14s returned to the pitch with a renewed sense of purpose and a massive jump in intensity. While we ultimately couldn't contain a lightning-fast Rossendale side, the progress shown across the board was the real victory of the day.

The Action

The boys started with a physical edge that was missing last time out. We saw some fantastic phases of play, with the forwards securing solid ball and the backs looking to create space.

* The Finishers: Two brilliant tries were clinically executed by Logan and Dan M, both showing great strength to find the line.
* The Boot: Ollie was in "expert" mode today with superb kicks and conversion that kept us well within the hunt.

Rossendale's pacey attackers were met with some thumping hits. Ben and Teddy were the standout enforcers, leading the tackle count and showing the heart this team is built on.

A huge congratulations to the following players who caught the eye this week:
* Opposition Player: Tom — A respectful nod to a great performance
* Parents’ Players: Leland & Ollie — Voted for by the touchline faithful for their work rate and impact.
* Coaches’ Player: Stanley — For his tactical awareness and commitment to the game plan.
