The fixture against Ponteland, turned out to be a mixed team with Morpeth and Ponteland which certainly added and edge to the opposition compared to last time we faced them. Alnwick boys displayed the best attitude I have seen for them in quite some time and fought bitterly to the end and were rewarded with 2 tries. The score does not tell the whole story, once again the tries against us were due to errors on our part, and for large parts of the game the sides looked pretty evenly matched. We look forward to playing Morpeth in 2 weeks were we are told we will get the same turnout of Morpeth and Poneteland players, so a good opportunity to improve on our performance.
Big Don's Man of the Match
This went to Ben Leadbitter for his tireless efforts in trying to organise and direct the pack despite their reluctance to be directed - we will be working on that boys!
