WOW. I have to say that some of the Rugby played on Sunday to secure the county cup was tremendous. The boys played with pride passion grit and determination. Each game they stepped up a gear by the 5th game they were turbo charged having beaten Blaydon 30 – 0 , Middlesbrough 10 – 0 , Sunderland 10 – 5 , Gateshead 5- 0 and finally to face Billingham in the final. We clinched the trophy with a 10 – 5 win.
As a parent and I am sure you would all agree I would like to thank both Mike and Rowan for getting the boys to where they are, there were times when all training shouting and pure frustration finally paid off and each element of play came together. The passing the rucking and the mauling just clicked, I take my hat off to you all.
Ben Taylor who played with an injured wrist was man of the match.
