Aldwinians U12s 14

Widnes U12s 0

THE U12s visited Altrincham Kersal (AK) along with Aldwinians in a three-way competition.

Against AK the Wids took control with Hough producing superb tackling and devastating runs.

Quick service from the scrum by Glover allowed the Wids backs to carve through gaps in the AK defence.

Effective passing saw the three quarter line using the width of the pitch to good effect and Doolan, Smith, Hough and Thompson all played with skill.

Full Back Crank's safe hands cleaned up behind the lines and never allowed AK the advantage.

Phillips's penetrating penalty kicks took Widnes closer to the AK line.

Price, Morris, Phillips, Buckle and Preston dominated at the breakdowns and lineouts while Rugan and Leather were excellent.

In the second game, the same Wids 13 faced Aldwinians.

Pressure from the big Aldwinians pack was eventually rewarded and at half time they led 7-0.

Hough had to leave the pitch following a brave try-saving tackle and Morris soon followed with an eye injury.

Aldwinians saw the chance to go away with their first victory against the Wids and a spilled ball over the Wids line was given as a try.

The U12s travel to Huddersfield next week to defend their trophy in the final year before the transition to 15-a-side next season.

THE Wids U7s also visited Altrincham Kersal for a triangular tournament with the hosts and Aldwinians.

With a squad of 15 players they produced their best performances of the season.
