Bury U11s 50 - 0 Rossendale U11s

Bury came into the game after a few weeks off but with a well drilled side with some good results under their belt.

But Dale weren't intimidated by their reputation and were kept their heads up and gave 100% throughout the whole game.

The scoreline is irrelevant in a friendly like this, but the Rossendale team stuck together as a team and, had a little bit of luck been in our favour, Dale could have had 3 or 4 tries after strong build up play, just to see Bury steal the ball and break the length of the pitch to score for themselves. With some more focus on defence and stronger tackling in training next week, we should look forward to a good game at Blackpool in 2 weeks.

With so many good performances, it's hard to single any individual out, but a special mention has got to go to Natasha in her first ever game.

The Man of the Match, nominated by the Bury coaches, was Alex.

Thanks go to the Bury lads and coaches for today's game and hospitality.
