Sunday saw the first opportunity for the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s to field 2 teams on one day, meaning everyone was going to get a couple of games under their belts. This was a great opportunity for those who hadnt played yet, or not got much rugby under their belts to combine with some of the more experienced players and play rugby. And what a day, the blue team drew against a plucky Chesterfield, thanks to a long range try from BJ and some great tackling from Corey, Thomas and the Twins. They then went down to a competitive Selby team who set out with one intention and got their wish. It wasnt for a lack of effort from anyone in Blue, it just wasnt to be their day !
The Red team had a different challenge, they were to play back to back games against a fresh Selby team, made up of a similar mix of players, and they set about showing the blue team what rugby was all about. A great effort from Ryan in his first ever game, brought him a try, and new Scrum half Oliver drove his troops forward to earn a great draw in game one.
Game two was going the same way, lots of hard work and running before it looked like Selby were going to break free. A last ditch tackle from player of the day helped ensure a second draw - a great days rugby !
The important thing out of today was seeing everyone get a chance to play, and some of the smiles told their own story.
Back to training next week for the boys, before a trip to Headingley to play at half time in the Aviva Premiership game against London Wasps.
