Thursday, 21 April 2022	13's - Maroons	Woolston	Away	42-12	A lovely spring evening and we were up against Woolston Rovers. It’s early days in the league and we are still finding our feet so it would be a good test to see where we were at. Woolston had won 2 out of 2 so far so we knew the Maroons were going to be in for a tough test. It was very much an arm wrestle in the first 15 minutes or so, some great running as always from Zac, Joel and Reuben really making us great metres but we were just unable to capitalise under the sticks. Woolston finding it hard to get out of their own half for large periods with the Maroons defence holding firm with some great hits by Kaden, Jacob and Edwin. The pressure was definitely starting to tell and we were camped in their final third. Some good running by Harry and Thomas and then Captain Jack found a gap and there was no stopping The Machine going through to open the scoring. A deserved lead for the Maroons and Harley with the conversion to make it 6-0. The Maroons were in the dominance now and looking to extend their lead, composure was needed, there was no need to rush things. This is where Thomas steps up, this boy is a joy to watch in full flow, he glided past a couple of players and over the line. Harley with the extras. 12-0. The Woolston players were being pressurised by the Maroons defence and were conceding penalties. This gave the Maroons the chance to spread the ball out wide and the ever reliable Jacob went over in the corner. Harley missed a very difficult kick but it was just about a perfect half for the Maroons and it was 16-0 at half time. Woolston were determined to make a good start to the 2nd half but bodies were put on the line by every one of the Maroons to keep the score to nil. Step up Ellis Corfield, if it is a day that ends in a y there is a very good chance of this lad running the length of the field and pinning his ears back and going under the sticks and Thursday was no different. Harley with the kick at it was 22- 0. Some good defence by Junior and some big hits from Mikey keeping Woolston out but then they squeezed through to open their account. Kicking their conversion 22-6. Heads did not go down and some fantastic running from Harry and with a precision kick Harley was able to dive on it to score underneath sticks. Great link up play. Harley then converting his own try. 28 6. Harry then continuing his good play went over himself to extend the lead and Harley converts again. 34-6. Straight from kick off a very unfortunate bounce made the kick go over the sideline. With Woolston just 15 metres out, they were able to break through a resilient Maroons defence. 34-12. Then some great running again from Joel Makin whose presence grows with every game he plays. A penalty was awarded and Zac made no mistake by bulldozing through to score. Harley with a great kicking display and was able to kick over to make it 40-12 at full time. A real good test for the boys and they passed it with flying colours. Great to get their first league win on the board and so onwards and upwards from there. Well done everyone! Opposition MOTM Zac Dennett. Coaches MOTM Joel Makin

Sunday, 24 April 2022	12's	Thatto Heath	Away	22-28	Thatto Heath U12s v St Judes U12s Sunday 24th April 2022 Away (cup match) 28-22 (Lost) Despite the narrow defeat, St Judes put on a thrilling display and showed solid signs of improvement. Judes defended well from the kick off and worked hard to pile the pressure on Thatto Heath and force the opposition into errors. Great hands created opportunities out wide with Alfie English going in for the first try of the game. A clever kick-off forced Thatto into a handling error which gave Judes a good position to mount an attack. Silky handling skills set up the space for Ben Green to go in for Judes' second try. Judes continued to exploit the weaknesses in the Thatto defence by shipping the ball left and right which exposed a gap for Ben Green to score Judes' third try of the game. At 0-16, St Judes went into the break with a commanding lead over the opposition. Thatto Heath came out fighting in the second half and scored an early try. Judes continued to work hard for each other and defended well under pressure. Fullback, George Burrows put in an excellent cover tackle to prevent a try (his second of the game). Unfortunately for Judes, Thatto found their feet and scored two further tries in the second half. With just a couple of minutes remaining, Judes pounded the Thatto line with Ben Green eventually going in for his hat trick. The try was converted by Layton Dewhurst (his third of the game) to bring Judes within two points of Thatto. Unfortunately, Thatto sealed the victory with a try in the dying seconds of the game. Despite the scoreline, the Judes lads can be really proud of their performance today with some excellent rugby on display. Coaches' MOM: Harvey Woolfenden. Players' MOM: Ben Green Away MOM: Jamie Gaskell Magic moment: George Burrows
