Under 13’s Finish On A High

Report from Under 13 Head Coach, Graham Christy:
The final weekend of the season saw Ripon U-13’s travel to Darlington for a festival. After beating Wharfedale (with a last second penalty by Guy Watkinson), Acklam & Hartlepool Rovers in the group stages they faced an equally strong Percy Park side in the final. In one of the most keenly fought and competitive games of rugby this season, Percy Park beat ripon 5 - 0. The game was won by the percy Park fullback who pulled of a try saving tackling on Glenn May in the last two minutes of the game as he was heading towards the posts.
Ripon were also awarded the fair play award by Darlington Festival organisers for the behaviour of players on the pitch and the spectators.
In a season that has seen the team lose only 3 games and score over 800 points, it is a testament to the squad ability, commitment and pure stubbornness that they can now compete with teams of the standard of Percy Park. Well done to one & all.
