Under 13 Match Report

SUNDAY 11th December 2005

Sutton Coldfield 20pts v Lutterworth  12pts 

Lutterworth kicked off the proceedings and kept the early pressure deep inthe Sutton Coldfield half. From the subsequent scrum Sutton Coldfield cleared upfield. This led to a 10 minute period where both sets of  forwards mauled, rucked and scummaged in midfield trying to gain the advantage. Finally the Lutterworth forwards did gain some ground and from the maul Sam Huckerby broke away and barged through the defence to touch down under the posts, Harry Gregory converting to give Lutterworth a 7-0 lead. This only spurred on Sutton Coldfield and from the kick they took the game to Lutterworth putting the defence under prolonged pressure. Saving tackles from back Jordan Tebb and forward Chris Gutteridge kept Sutton Coldfield out but finally they did get the reward for the pressure their backs touching down in the corner. Sutton Coldfield kept up the pressure playing deep in the Lutterworth half and again the pressure gained reward and Sutton Coldfield scored again.

The second half was playing much more even each team taking play deep into the opponents half only for the ball to be turned over and cleared. Finally the Lutterworth backs got the ball wide and Josh Shevas darted down the wing only to be stopped by a last ditch tackle by the Sutton Coldfield full back. Another break this time from Jamieson Hodges again took the ball deep into the Sutton Coldfield 22, but again it was cleared. Finally it was Sutton Coldfield who got the break when the ball came loose from a maul on the Lutterworth 22 yard line they moved it across the pitch to score in the corner. A double blow came for Lutterworth when from he kick off Sutton Coldfield took the ball and blasted straight through the defence to score again. Back came Lutterworth to try and get back in the game and with time running out Sam Huckerby broke through again to score in the corner, the conversion was just missed from a difficult angle by Chris Gutteridge.  Lutterworth kept the pressure deep in the Sutton Coldfield 22 but could not break down the Sutton Coldfield defence again.
