Burnley U14's 44 Broughton Park 14.
A great first game of the season for these boys, after having a run out last week at 7's this week it was the first game at 15 a Side and on a big open pitch. Unfortunately the away side only had thirteen so that's how many we played. Burnley's squad of nineteen are beginning to look a well organised machine. With debutant Jack Orr having a run at fifteen.
Burnley opened up the scoring with two tries via - Logan Cain & Ben Uttley. Then the away side got back in the game with a try of their own and this was converted. Before half time Burnley scored another four tries with Logan getting his second and Charles Wilkes, Troy Richmond and Jack Uttley getting the others with two of them converted by Ben and Matas Zalieckas. A solid first half with rotation of the players key to.
Into the second half and it was great to see Zac Hamilton back in the team after a summer with injuries he looked fast and scored a couple of tries. With Park again scoring and converting, unfortunately they lost a prop and uncontested scrums finished the match but Burnley final score was great as new recruit Jack Orr sprinted away to score on his debut.....
So a solid start to the season, work ones will be to keep the scrum solid and straight when pushing, and making sure from scrums and line outs in defence we must make sure our centres and fly half work together and defend as a line. Next week at Trafford let's hope we can get flankers and a full 15, well done Burnley Under 14's
