St Judes U9’s Gold’s 24-32 Shevington The Mini Beast from the East couldn’t stop U9’s gold’s opening game against Shevington Sharks! With the wind, snow and Icy temperatures Judes U9’s Gold’s played their gold hearts out!! However with a defeat our spirits were not frozen! The game was a thriller from beginning to end – with great defence from both sides Cody Smith, Tadgh Casey gaining yard after yard, big Jack knocking them down like bowling pins as he ran at them full steam ahead! Jack Myers showing off his tackling skills bring them down one by one if they managed to slip his hands then Deacon Charnock was there to bring them down and if they managed to slip his hands then Tadgh Casey was there to finish them off!! Oscar Roper with his ducking and diving skills managed to escape Shevington defence and score 2 tries!! Then came the awesome passing skills – Isaac to Kian to Harrison = TRY!! Shevington came back with some great hard runs but Judes defence was keeping them out – Aston, Kyle, Isaac, Oscar, Harrison, Jack M, Cody, Deacon (who was everywhere you turned), Kian, Big Jack, Leighton making his debut for Gold’s ran hard and fast gaining yards all had their defence hats on – Shevington couldn’t break through. THEN Shevington mustard up strength and managed to score a few tries – Now it was try for try. Tadgh Casey was on Fire – he was everywhere – Tackling, gaining yards, scoring 3 tries!! However Shevington had the advantage and scored again and again resulting in a defeat for Gold’s 32 – 24!! What an awesome game it was! Can’t not mention our fallen hero’s today – Mason Chisnall, Archie Unsworth, Jack Hill, Gabe Mills all missing due to injury and illness.
