U10’s Enjoy Their First Festival

It was a super sunny morning in Gateshead last Saturday for the first Primary Rugby League Festival of the season.

Crusaders U10’s turned up with 13 enthusiastic players. Who were joined by 3 equally enthusiastic players from Wallsend.

This meant we have 16 cracking players ready to split into 2 teams.

The 1st game was Catterick Cammo against Cramlington Rockets.

The team showed alot of true determination. Working together. Great defense and attack.

The score sheet started with Bodhi doing a cracking full length run to score. A perfect example of how to tackle a player goes to Tom G with some outstanding tackles throughout the game. Archie L had an outstanding game with some secure carries and making metres.

Rockets Gave Bodhi there MOM for the 1st Game.

The 2nd game of the day was Catterick strips against Rocket 2. Catterick came out all guns blazing after waiting to get on the pinch. Junior scored an amazing 7 tries, Noah B scoring 2 and Ollie making his debut also getting over the try line a couple of times. Lucy showing true girl power, pulling off an amazing try stopping tackle.

Lukas, also making his debut, put in some amazing tackles and showed some sportsmanship with his compassion for an injuried Rockets player. Junior got MOM from the Rockets coach.

Game 3 Catterick Cammo against Rockets 2.

Herny started this off with a great run and try.

Then Noah F, with his trade mark jinking runs bagged himself 3 tries in a row. Leonard and Austin showed great example of an all round player showing determination within attack and defence. Oscar D ran some great meters forward and his outstanding leadership qualities shone through, organising the team in attack. Noah F recieved MOM from the Rockets Coach.

Catterick striped played the final game against Gateshead Storm. Junior showed true character by encouraging the team to move forward. Off the back of this Neil carried the ball forward and the opposition failed to get Neil down. Noah B stepped up his tacklimg, in this game showing true Crusader sprit in defence. Ollie was awarded MOM.

Over the 4 games, both teams played really well. We look forward to the rest of the season.

Thank you Shauna for the match notes!
