U12s Back in Action for New Season

Withycombe U12s returned to action this week at the Land Rover Cup tournament at Exeter Saracens. They played 4 pool games against tough opposition:

Game 1 D 0 : 0
Withycombe v Truro

Game 2 L 5 : 10
Withycombe v Totnes
Try Scorer: Ben Wilkinson (1)

Game 3 D 0 : 0
Withycombe v Crediton

Game 4 L 0 : 10
Withycombe v Sidmouth

7 minutes each way, 13 a side mini games played on relatively small pitches made for frantic activity in all 4 games. Withy played with an encouraging level of intensity particularly in their first outing versus a strong Truro side. Hopefully the lads can maintain and build on this start to the season during their upcoming regular fixtures, with an emphasis on aggressive rucking and ball distribution on wider pitches.

New boy, Scott Acheson made a good start at centre having recently joined Withies from Exmouth.
