Under 14 Match Report

SUNDAY 21st  Otober 2007

Lutterworth  3pts  v  Towcester  7pts

Another desperately close game saw Lutterworth u14 take on Towcester and finish up on the losing side. If pressure and possession counted for anything, then Lutterworth would have walked this game. Lutterworth pounded the Towcester line in the early part of the half, the pressure resulting in a well struck penalty from Lemmon. Towcester hit back through a try from close range from their number 8 who was the pivotal player in their side. The res of the game was a story of Lutterworth just not quite making the most of their opportunities. Try as they might, they could not c ross the whitewash, and Towcester held firm to run out 7- 3 winners.

The last 20 minutes was played as a development game to allow some meaningful game time for all the players. With Towcester best player, the number 8 staying on the field, it was always going to be a difficult task, but Lutterworth constructed a great try from a scrum in centre field. The ball was moved by Lee-Everton to Luke, who blasted past 2 defenders. When he was finally hauled down, quick hands resulted in a huge overlap, which was converted in to a try. The conversion was narrowly missed by Lemmon.
