U13's Blues Cup Victory.

Both sides entered this game with high expectations on a cold crisp morning and after an evenly matched first half, the home side lead 7-5 although as the half progressed the visiting forwards begun to string together some phases of play that stretched the home defence that largely held firm under pressure.

The second half proved the difference between the sides as the power of the visiting forwards allied to excellent fitness levels made sure that the home side were defeated as the Squirrels showed some tremendous play with the coaches on the side-lines purring with pleasure as all they had worked on in training came to fruition. One coach was even heard to say to others, "they have listened"!

Everyone in the squad contributed to what was a real team effort as shown in the later stages of the game with both the backs and forwards showing great handling skills allowing them to take control of the game. 

There is no doubt that the size of the squad certainly helps allowing the Squirrels to make regular substitutions thereby maximising performance.

Success in some way must also be put down to everyone turning up on time for the pre-game warm up allowing the visiting Squirrels to be sure they were ready for the start of the game, so well done to all the drivers/parents.
