Crosfields Cobras U11′s 22 Rochdale Mayfield U11′s 10
Crosfield faced their last challenge as under 11′s and they looked up for the battle as the sun shone down. With a slightly late kick off the game got underway with both teams running the ball in hard.
First on the charge was Josh Little and Callum Southern both looking in good form to make plenty of yards for the team. With the ball changing pocession Danny Robb was to be denied twice in the left corner with last ditch tackles after great centre play from the unselfish Ben Dixon. The teams were deadlocked after ten minutes and looked in for a tough battle.
On the next set good running from Sam Martin and players player James Kenny pushed the team forward. Quick play the ball allowed Callum Talbot to release Alex Tinsley out wide to scorch in for the first score. With the ball Mayfield ran hard but Kyle brown and Thomas Davis were standing strong.
On the next good running from the impressive Lloyd Halpin and Daniel James couldn’t find the gap and even with Joe Hands pulling the strings at dummy half the visitors were able to score and level the game.
HT6-6
The second half began with Ben Dixon and Alex Tinsley driving forward and causing problems. On the next quick hands from Joe Hands released Thomas Davis to cross and score a well worked try. The game now began to stretch with the heat. More good defence from top tackler Josh Little and Sam Martin kept Mayfield at bay.
The game was tight and Callum Southern backed by Kyle Brown made yards and then James Kenny bustled onto a bay to score a fantastic barge try with three defenders on his back. More great cover defence from Daniel James and Llloyd Haplin one on one kept the scores the same.
With the game still in the balance the next try would be vital. George brailey and Danny Robb ran in hard and then man of the match Callum Talbot spotted a gap and placed a wonderful grubber to the right corner for Lloyd Halpin to score and seal the win.
Today was a great game against two good teams which will teach the TEAM how to handle the hot weather and play for the whole game time.
