U12s Dominate Rushden & Higham with Rucking Masterclass
The Under 12s delivered a magnificent performance on the road against Rushden and Higham, securing an emphatic 18-4 victory!
Our key focus for the day was rucking, and the team executed it brilliantly, winning all but one ruck to ensure we had a mountain of possession. This dominance with the ball was perfectly utilised to secure the tries. The defence was just as impressive, with big hits being put in by every player throughout the game.
With eight different try-scorers on the day, it was a fantastic all-round team effort. The biggest stand-out, however, was Franklin, who not only captained the side but was also named Player of the Match for his strong, driving runs and relentless pressure that constantly put the opposition on the back foot.
Well done to the entire squad for playing with your heart on your sleeve!
