Alnwick U16’s v Durham City U16’s

I hope that everyone had the chance to watch the boys play in perfect Alnwick conditions. A close encounter with a quality Durham City side in a 71 point thriller.

We started very strongly! The famous Alnwick sleepy start very much a thing of the past! ? a 3 try lead quickly racked up. But a quality side like Durham were always going to come back and they did! Taking a narrow lead which we chased for most of the middle of the game, showing real character and maturity to come back with a strong 38-33 win against one of the best team’s in County Durham. Great to see, well done boys! ????

Always a few things to work on, but with so many excellent individual performances, every single player should be really proud of their efforts today. We certainly take plenty of positives with us from this game as we travel to Tynedale next week.
