Match Reports

Under 17s 0 v 47 Fleetwood

On Sunday 19th April our U17s fielded a scratch side against a touring Fleetwood side at Trentham Fields. 

Although our Junior Section is growing, we took the fixture at short notice and were unable to raise a full 15, so the Longton lads had to borrow three players from Fleetwood. 

Playing against a strong Lancashire outfit boasting several County players, our U17s had a few team members who were playing only their second competitive rugby match. 

The disjointed preparations showed on the pitch, and Fleetwood were comfortable winners 0 - 47.  

The lads stuck to the task and didn't let their heads go down.  Our U17s will certainly have learned from their experience today, and will be able to build on this and come back stronger next season.
