Our U11s faced a stiff test against Horden, but despite a few missing players, they displayed incredible determination and resilience. The crisp autumn morning set the stage for a physical and exciting match.

Horden struck first with a fantastic individual run, but our team responded with some resolute tackling. Cameron, Owen, Harry Coleman, and Eli were particularly impressive in halting Horden's momentum.

We capitalised on some Horden errors and scored tries through Eli Wright, Harry Coleman, Alfie Bingham and hat trick hero Harley Stoddart. The team showed great promise in attacking play, with Harley adding another try to our tally, and a second to his.

While there's room for improvement in our passing and decision-making, today's match highlighted our ability to compete against tough opponents. The team's character and resilience were evident throughout.

Player of the Week: Cameron Evans for superb leadership and Harley Stoddart for a wonderful hat trick.

A huge thank you to all the parents and supporters who braved the cold to cheer us on. Your encouragement means a lot to the team.
