Lichfield RFC U12s vs Barkers Butts RFC

A brilliant morning of rugby for our Under 12s today against Barkers Butts RFC, despite challenging conditions. Both pitches saw plenty of game time for everyone, and the coaches were hugely proud of the squad’s attitude, effort, and performances.

Defence was a real highlight across both pitches – the boys applied constant pressure, adapted well to some tough refereeing decisions, and showed great resilience throughout. It was fantastic to see such a big group of players working together, supporting each other, and enjoying their rugby.
