(March 8) The U13s also had a tough morning against the two divisions higher Old Grammarians in the local Derby played at Donkey Lane.

The team, although a little more connected in the second period, did suffer at the breakdown, but still managed to orchestrate some good passages of play, having also showed commendable resolution in the tackle.

They also managed to fashion a sparkling try in the second period.

In a questions and answers session at half-time and after the game, the boys and coaching team identified a number of areas for improvement such as ruck speed, more composure, and the need to develop a greater [wolf]-pack mentality, amongst others.

So a positive exercise to sum up and we look forward to seeing the improvements in the coming weeks now that their league campaign has ended.
