Burnley Hosted Reversal of cup tie with Liverpool

Burnley U17s (10 points) vs Liverpool St Helens U17s (35 points)
Burnley Junior Colts hosted a last minute change of the Cup tie with Liverpool St Helens reversing the fixture to Burnley. Liverpool in a higher division set a bar for Burnley to push. The first 20 minutes both sides worked hard at gaining territory, but with no tries coming. With a lapse in the Burnley defence from the scrum Liverpool made it over the line to score, Liverpool made the same play again and managed to score yet again. Burnley though then recovered and camped on the Liverpool lines for 10 minutes with repeated Liverpool offenses Burnley pressured and Joe McCue pushed over the line to get Burnley back on with a try. Liverpool managed another try to close the first half.
Burnley came on for the second half determined to recover their position with them taking the play again into the Liverpool 22, Patrick Hudson made a play to take the advantage with a kick and chase to put down for a try but play was pulled back to the original Liverpool infringement, Burnley could not make anything from the scrum and lost the ball to Liverpool for them to score.
Burnley came back with a great sprint from George Hibbert down the wing taking the ball into touch on the Liverpool 5m line. Burnley repeatedly made for the line and were driven back, but Jack Donavan made the line for the try. Time was running out and Burnley could not come back to score with the territory going between the two teams, Liverpool made it over the line to deny Burnley again and with time running out the score did not change but Burnley had played hard throughout.
