Our Under 18s were also in action in Singleton, aiming to book a place in next weekend’s decider in the Laurie Daley Cup, but were beaten 28-16 by the Northern Tigers.
It was a missed opportunity for the U/18s who fell away badly after establishing a 16-nil lead. Like the U/16s, our Laurie Daley Cup team also lost just the one match in the regular season.
