The U13s had an excellent game against Liverpool Collegiate, at home. Collegiate are an exceptionally well drilled and skilful side and Sedgley were mostly on the defensive, but they defended with great enthusiasm and team spirit. Against the run of play, Sedgley broke out to score and led 7-0 at the end of the first of three 20-minute periods.

Collegiate piled on the pressure in the second period and Sedgley continued to tackle like demons, but the equalising score eventually came. Two more tries in the last session made it 7-19, a score that just about reflected the difference between the two teams, in skill if not in effort.
