Switch of fixture and venue but usual result.

First things first. Please read Paul Deacon's match report for the U14s today. I think you'll agree it's a cracker and he's raised the bar for match reports. I will endeavor to meet his standard but i'll try to keep my own style.

To be honest today's report has to be a little tame, as it quickly became obvious that our opposition, made up of 7's and 8's, were likely to struggle against our gang. We split into two teams with the newer players making up one side and our experienced squad making up a second team. With John Robinson playing coach and yours truly in the ref role, the newbies were soon well ahead, and we finished up at least 5 tries to the good. Harry, James and Mia did a grand job keeping young William, Joe, Tom and Michael well in shape, and they in turn got some debut tries for our club. What I was really pleased about was how quickly the new gang got the whole diamond attack, straight line defence system.

The second game was also a 6 try+ victory, with Burn being made to defend against some of the worst refereeing decisions ever made, but defend they did, turning over on 7 tags time after time, even when set to do so on their own try line.

We finished the morning with Burn V Burn and kept the squads as per their Orrell matches. This should have meant an easyish victory for the latter team, but in fact, the two team were actually evenly matched and I think the ten minute game ended fairly even. I guess this makes the day worthwhile!!

WARRINGTON! next week should be a tougher test, and we can use today to make things progress nicely - see you then!!
