U12's away at Littleborough didn't go to plan

In a hastily arranged fixture and with a break in the weather U12's travelled back to Littleborough where, only a couple of weeks earlier, they had beaten Rochdale and Eccles in the Lancs Waterfall Tournament.

This had sparked interest from the hosts and it seemed like a close game could be in store...but...you get a feeling in warm up don't you...that game face didn't come in the kit bag...the organisation from previous fixtures had ebbed away...not going to plan. We made life easy for them...standing off tackles, not rucking, forwards hanging out in the backs...only in the final period did we get back to something like normal but it was too late. Littleborough deserved winners.

Man of the match for doing all that was asked of him on a difficult day: Spencer, with an honourable mention to Connor and a 'proper' tackle from Jamie...that's two of the new boys...I'll leave it with you guys...
