November 28th U17’s vs West Park (Home) Lost 14-24
In a hard fought match against a team two leagues higher the score should have been a lot closer, but Northwich let themselves down with poor tackling to enable west park to score four tries of which two were converted. It was Northwich who went ahead first with a fine individual score by centre Mike Bradley who broke through on the halfway line chipped ahead then scooped the ball up just before the try line to touch down. The try was converted by Craig Millington. West Park replied with two fine tries before half time both converted.
Half time Northwich 7 West Park 14
Straight from the kickoff Northwich pressurised West park whose attempted clearance kick was charged down from the ensuing maul Prop Forward Robert Stagg peeled off and bulldozed his way over, again the try was converted by Craig Millington. With the scores level it was an evenly fought contest for most of the 2nd half. It was West Park who finally sealed a win with two well engineered tries in the last quarter of the game to run out deserved victors, But Northwich must take credit for the effort and commitment shown in a entertaining and enjoyable game to watch.
