Good performance from improving Saints U13's

With Wirral hostsing a mini 7's event our fixture moved donw the fun peninsula to Eastham, we were happy to accomodate Allan and the lads from Wirral.

We had lots of lads turn up who where supposed to have been away so we played our stronger team first half. Porter, maty mac mat, gilroy - front row. Engine room floyd & gio. Backrow the O'Dowd twins and sam orr. Half backs morty & mosey. Centre partnerhsip alex & mike kelly with a back three of adam, george mally & tom owen.

Coach Ian commented " it was a grueling game with one of the wirral lads taken off in amulance suspected broken anckle have asked the wirral coaches to let me know how he gets on"

Sainst won the 1st half by a narrow margin - see end of report for details (Thanks to Damian the ref for the breakdown and for handling the game so well)

Second half Saints made lots of changes bringing on george mcd, naithan pete, jack to replace morty at scrum, mike st john, rory, tom swainson daniel shared the last half with george mcd.

The lads did great Naithan made two outstanding tackles that we were supprised he got up from, but the whoe team battled hard.

We lost by about 10 points.

New jack had a great debut at scrum half and morty played a blinder first half. Alex, dylan & Porter had v strong games. A couple of lads took knocks but were begging not to be taken off even though they couldnt walk! Floyd stepped in as prop (reluctantly) and played a blinder, well done.

Fantastic game played against a v strong wirral team in a great spirit. Wirrals coaches commented about how much impovement we have made in a year. Thanks guys.
