On Sunday the U14s took on a well drilled Dalziel team with some big players, for one of our toughest games so far.

The weather conditions at Wigtownshire were not kind, it was a cold damp day. Despite the weather, at the start of play the boys were showing how well they’ve come together as a team. The scrum took on the much bigger Dalziel pack and pushed or held back the opposition in almost every scrum, our front row did a great job.

Rucking is something we have been working hard on, and that showed today, with some excellent clear outs paving the way for some great attacking play and big carries.

There was some brilliant defensive play on show, with brave tackling and commitment.
George Keith started the tries coming (managing four in total) and Lee added another to the tally. Charlie and George are proving to be an excellent partnership at 9 and 10, planning their kicks and conversions with precision.

Dalziel came back hard in the last ten minutes with some strong running. However, the boys hung on for the win. Overall, an excellent team effort.

Final score 33-29.

Man of the match goes to George for an excellent all round game, tries, kicks, fast footwork and great teamwork.
Mason, one of our newer players, also deserves recognition for getting about the pitch and his commitment to getting the tackles in.
