On a glorious morning we convened at a nice, dry, astroturf pitch in Birkenhead Park, raring to go after a few weather curtailed weeks.

There were 8 very excited players bouncing around the "cage" at park and it took Coach Ally and Coach Newey quite a while to gain their full attention! When things were finally under control we had a frenetic warm-up and mini training session before splitting into Hawks and Harriers.
At Park's request we split the teams along age lines so we had the Harriers with Newey - Freddie, Saul, Frazer and Sam Weir - and the Hawks with Ally - Jayden, Calum, Seth and Michael.

Both teams had two games with the Harriers running out double winners, 6-4 and 4-3. The Hawks cruised to a 6-3 win in the first game and were 4-4 up in the second when the match was prematurely ended by the appearance of the Under 9s! The Hawks would most likely have piled the pressure on to secure a second win but we ended with 3 wins, 1 draw, a squad of happy players and two very happy coaches.

All the players played superbly and there were notable tag-team performances from Jayden/Calum and Freddie/Saul, although the latter duo spent a bit too much time dancing! Seth used his fancy footwork to good effect and the Pocket Rocket was his usual mini rugby tornado.

Sam Weir played out of his skin to claim the Harriers MoM medal and, after a slow start, Michael had his best game so far to claim a surprising (for him anyway!) MoM medal. Well done both boys - thoroughly well-deserved.

Huzzah!!
