HFH U8 4 IN a difficult encounter at Crosfields it was the home team who ran away with the match in the second two quarters of the contest.

In attack there was some strong running from the Hornets’ Daniel Stephens, Ellis Lloyd, Euan McPherson and Mathew Sinclair against what was a toughtackling Crosfields outfit.

However, it was James Prescott with two tries and Cian Winstanley who also crossed the whitewash twice who managed to break down the Crosfields’ defence.

In defence for Hornets all the players seemed to up their game this week but as the contest went on injuries took their toll on the players.

Nevertheless, there were solid displays from Ollie Jenkins, Aaron Ward, James Prescott and Cian Winstanley with the latter taking the man-of-the-match accolade.

Mathew Sinclair received the coaches’ award and Aaron Ward was the top tackler.
