Winter began today at Harrogate's new Rudding Park ground with a chill in the air and occasional light rain making playing conditions less than ideal for both sides.
Otley's two teams played three matches each against the Harrogate sides, each one close with some excellent hard drives, at times tying in four defenders, creating room out wide to score.
Both sides tackled well and presented the ball to continue the play. It was great to see that Otley U9s seem to be improving their skills with every match they play, with everyone getting involved, warming the crowd with some fantastic rugby.
