Game of two halves.

Acklam played superb rugby in the first half and scored six tries, but in the second half they lost their focus and lost the second half 14-5. This massive turn around was not all together to do with the players but by a referee who seemed determined to level the game up, he actually said it ! The penalty count against Acklam was in double digit figures...lost count !

Tries scorers were Marcus Sugden, Adam Harrison (2), Andy Dunn, James Ffitch and Chris McRoberts.

Lets hope James Ffitch shoulder injury is not too serious. Paddy O’Brian had a big impact in the first half and should not of been taken off at half time as his physicality around the pitch was awesome. Paddy McCann was not phased by having his first team debut, he now makes it four Under 18’s who have played 1st team rugby this season. Adam Harrison who is one of the Under 18’s showed real class when he scored his two tries.
