West Park Leeds and Scunthorpe

Today’s games were played at a breezy West Park Leeds. Scunthorpe also turned up with two teams.

York were low on numbers due to various reasons and 12 boys turned up, which gave the coaches some opportunity to play some players in different positions. Most notably were Alexander S at wing, Harry GF and Ben Carlin at centre.

The first game against Scunthorpe was a convincing 6 tries to nil win for York with tries scored by Louie, Tom R, Curran and Ollie Z. All the players were on top of there game with dazzling runs from Tom H and Patrick and good fighting for the ball by Ben Jones.

The forwards bossed the game about with Ben Tarver at number 9 digging the ball out of the rucks to feed the backs who did some great passing and running..

The second game against Scunthorpe was much tougher and we lost this game 6 tries to 1 with Harry GF scoring our only try. Still good work by the whole team.

The third match was against WPL and some really good performances from all the players. Tom R at fly half started some great attacks with Ben C, Curran, Alex B and Alex A doing some great runs and whilst not forgetting their defensive duties.

The forwards were again on top of their game with Ben Jones and Harry GF making great tackles resulting in tries from Louie and Ollie Z.

WPL fought back in the second half and scored a third try in the last second of the game.

Great performances by all the players today.
