Blackburn take the spoils over U13's

The U13's made a first trip to local rivals Blackburn for a very long time on Sunday looking for a repeat of their roadshow at Kirkby Lonsdale two weeks ago. Scoring first, things seemed to be on course for Rossendale but the spirited home team weren't about to lie down and struck back with some impressive wide running assisted by some erroneous defending from us.

A half time talk seemed to turn things around somewhat and our attacks out wide improved to earn more tries. But it was one of those days with a couple of passes not sticking and a runaway try for the home team from deep in their territory meaning Blackburn ran out worthy winners on the day, albeit a close run thing with some positives for us to take away and some things to work on in training.

Thanks to Blackburn for hosting at short notice and to mothers for sacrificing their Mothers Day relaxation to come and watch.
