U10s vs Milford

A game of two halves!

In the first half both teams played with the mindset that attack was the best form of defence. Strong runs through the Milford defence from Rafferty, George and Rory kept the scoreboard ticking over. Florence with a good run and unlucky to be stopped before the try line. A couple of phases where missed tackles from the Saints meant Milford were to lead 9-7 at half time.

In the second half the Saints came to life, strong in defence and clinical in attack. Milford could find very little space for their quicks to break the line. Eli and Freddie repelling a strong Milford attack with good solid tackling. Geraint and others with some good work at the breakdown protecting our ball, allowing our scrum half Iestyn to move the ball quickly from the base of the ruck for our runners to attack the Milford defence. Both Iestyn and Geraint rewarded for their hard-work with their own tries.

Saints with some really well worked tries, working through the phases and passing the ball wide. Milford kept coming with some of their own breakaway tries but the Saints worked hard to force turnovers which meant the scores soon levelled up. Then on the last play the Saints got the ball wide where Joey sprinted through to the corner for the decisive winning try.

A great win for the Saints!
