Following a promising home win last weekend, Lichfield u13s travelled to Nuneaton full of confidence.
Nuneaton fielded a strong side and were quick to exploit any gaps left in the Lichfield defence. Following several strong opposition carries Lichfield fell behind to an opening try scored from close range by Nuneaton.
The Lichfield u13s heads didn’t drop and all the players stuck to their tasks well.
In the 2nd half Lichfield were able to hand club debuts to Joe (no8) and Addison (centre) who both made an immediate impact with some very direct and strong running.
Lichfield managed to breach the Nuneaton defence twice in the 2nd half as they began to get into their stride, but it was too little, too late to catch Nuneaton.
Amazing defensive work by Devan (scrum-half) and Fraser (left wing) throughout the match saw them as joint top tacklers with 14 tackles each.
A big thank you to Nuneaton, our excellent hosts, and as always to the u13 parents for your magnificent support.
