BEARS ROUND-UP

West Bank Bears u7s 12

Ryland Sharks u7s 32

IN a very entertaining game Bears competed well against a strong Rylands side and were never over run against them.

Mom went to top tackler and try scorer Liam Myler, while younger brother Shaun picked up most improved player.

Bears other tries came from Jordan Barr and Ryan Grimes with a few others coming inches to the line.

Hard workers in defence were Patrick Naughton and Mark Middlehurst, Jordan Sumner and Charlie McPartland.

Jordan Daly, Kyle O'Brien impressed with their running, as did John Bagley.

West Bank Bears u8s 20

Wigan St Pat's u8s 23

Stand-out players were Daniel Hulme and Daniel Lawley with the latter picking up Mom, the top tackler being Craig Noon.

Tries were scored for the Bears by Shaun Butterworth, Craig Noon (2), and Mom (2).

Good workers in defence were Simon Hicks, Dean French, Daniel Tunstead, Daniel Ruane and Mark Gorman.

West Bank u11s 14

Wigan St Judes u11s 18

POOR defending cost the Bears the game.

The Bears caught St Judes napping when Butler nipped in and collected a kick from the fifth to cross for the Bears opener.

St Judes simply walked in the equaliser.

The Bears went ahead again after Tunstead powerfully crossed from half-back.

Yet again St Judes pulled the score back with a very easy try and make it a half-time score of 8-10 with the conversion.

The second-half defending was just as poor when the Bears conceded another try.

Excellent passing from the left wing across the park set up Tunstead to cross on the right.

Unfortunately the Bears let St Judes in yet again in the dying minutes to claim the spoils.

Ryan Haliburton's hunger to make yards and complete his tackles earned him Mom.

Top tacklers where Tunstead, Teeling and Ainsworth.

A bright game and good positional play by Cartledge won him player of the week.
