Fantastic Performance

A superb performance from the Kendal U9s saw them more than match a very well coached and drilled Preston side, and although nobody really kept track of the score, if our young players are to be believed, we won 4 of the 6 games played!
The U9s took two teams to Lightfoot Green and got to play their games on Preston’s new Artificial Grass Pitch, where they treated the spectators to some excellent team rugby that improved throughout the three games they each played.
It was really pleasing to see some of our newer players settling into the Hornets “family” and putting in some impressive performances. There was some committed and fearless tackling from William Hepwood and Willow Rigg, Jake Bowman and Jack Morris were always keen to get involved and get their hands on the ball, and Tristan Jones and Jackson Barber showed some real skill when in possession.
All of this allowed some of the more experienced players to benefit from space to run into, and Logan Tilsley scores some great tries and Benjamin Owen, Iestyn Morgan, Leo Melhuish and Caleb Airey all displayed good elusive running.
As ever, there were elements to improve on, but to see the team enjoying themselves, improving their individual performances and gelling more as a team is all that can be asked of them, and they should all be proud of themselves for both the way they performed and the way they represented their club.
