Under 13 Match Report

SUNDAY 6th November 2005

Lutterworth  12pts  V  Melton  7pts

On another windy rainy morning Lutterworth won the toss and elected to play into the considerable wind. Jack Tranter kick off for Lutterworth which was well taken by Melton and when their forwards carried the ball up to the half way line and set up a maul from which the ball was passed out for the Melton winger to score in the corner. it looked like it was going to be a long half, Melton converted the try to take a early 7-0 lead.  However Lutterworths forwards and backs took the game to Melton and great work from Harry Gregory, Jarrad Carer and Sam Huckerby kept Melton at bay and after a first half played mainly deep in the Lutterworth half Lutterworth were still only 7-0 down.

From the Melton kick off and with the considerable wind behind them it was Lutterworths turn to put Melton under pressure. Good mauling from the forwards enabled Lutterworth to get the ball to their backs and when winger Josh Shevas was stopped on the Melton 22 from the maul Sam Huckerby broke away to score, Jack Tranter converted to level the scores. Now the Lutterworth forwards were enjoying playing in the oppositions half and eventually the pressure had to tell and again Sam Huckerby broke this time from a rolling maul to give Lutterworth the lead. Jack Tranter missed the conversion from wide. Lutterworth kept the pressure on Meltons defence but could not break through again and ran out winners by 12 points to 7.
