1st Dec 2018 Mens 7th v Bradford 4(Away) 0 - 4 loss

Rhydding 7 came up against top of the league Bradford, and found out why they haven�t lost a game so far. They were all a couple of years older, very skilful, very fast and played extremely well as a team.

Despite the average age of our juniors being around 12, and our youngest still being 10, we made sure Bradford didn�t have it all their own way. There was a lot of good tackling, some great runs up the wings (Caleb, Tom, James and Sam), good control in the centre (Aiden and Aidan), several of which took us into their D with a chance to strike. If this is how well our youngest team is playing right now then in a year or two they will be a dominant team in this league.

Thanks to the adults (David H, Richard, Ken, Fiona, Matt) for helping the juniors to keep their shape, maintain focus and confidence, and stop the Bradford midfield and forwards from overwhelming us.

Last week Dan, in goal, could have sat back and read a good book. This week he barely had time to draw breath after one attack before he had to save another. He stopped the score from being much higher for Bradford.
