Warrington v Leigh (on a very cold and foggy Sunday morning!)

Warrington RUFC Under 9s were playing at Leigh this morning in their first Sunday morning match of the season (excluding the Manchester Tournament). It was a very cold and foggy morning and the parents thought (hoped) the match might be called off, however it wasn’t and so the match commenced.

Warrington scored first with a fantastic try from Ben which unfortunately was shortly followed by a Leigh try, however there comeback was short lived and by half time Warrington were winning 4 tries to 1!

Daniel came on in the second half much to the delight of his watching fans – Mummy, Tim, Daddy, Uncle Michael, Auntie Alison (and Bob), Great Uncle Harry and Great Auntie Carol – it really was a super turn out from the family! Daniel didn’t fail to delight and after a few minutes he took the opportunity to run the ball over the line and score a try – he loves performing to a crowd!

The team continued to do well and by full time they had romped to an 11 tries to 1 victory!!

Amazingly after such a battering Leigh decided that they would try their luck and play another half, much to the delight of Warrington – Daniel did well again getting stuck in and even bravely trying to take on boys whoa re nearly twice his size and most definitely weigh twice as much as he does – he was driven into touch with great ease but he put up a good fight!

Needless to say Warrington turned Leigh over again and won 4 tries to 1!
Their is no official rugby try comeptition this year – but if there was Daniel would be running away with it already – in 2 games he has scored twice and Uncle Michael is yet to score!

Thank you to the rest of the family for their support – we know Daniel appreciates it!
