Under 15s cruise in for victory

A TOTAL of 15 tries, including one for the returning Tilda Robinson-Burgess, saw Littleborough Under 15s romp to an 83-0 victory over a mixed Sedgley, Rochdale and Manchester Under 15 side.

The Pink Warriors quickly got into their stride with four early tries. First fly half Ebony Clegg benefited from a series of Boro probes into the Barbarian half by the likes of Grace Garner and Rowan Kean to score the opener, before her fellow backs Kiera Boardman (2), Courtney Mills and winger Molly Yates also got in on action to give Littleborough a healthy lead.

In between the frantic opening exchanges and plethora of tries. Right winger Mollie McCarney was close to her first try in what was a special performance for an ever improving rookie. Fortunately for the visitors, number 8 Ellie Fitzgerald was on hand to lend some strength and muscled the ball free to score.

The mixed Barbarian team of Manchester, Rochdale and Sedgley Park understandably were finding it difficult to build possession of the ball against a team counter rucking excellently.

And this only led to further tries for Littleborough. Flanker Kirsty Bella danced through numerous challenges to score a quick fire double.

There was even time to squeeze in a try for long term absentee Tilda Robinson-Burgess. The hooker turned flanker for this game has returned from a broken ankle to reinforce a strong Littleborough pack.

Unfortunately for the home side, the second half took a similar feel.

Boardman and Bella (x2) completed their hat tricks.

Courtney Mills celebrated her birthday in style with another long range effort.

The Pink warriors rounded off the day’s scoring as they ran in further tries from Boardman and Yates.
