Late comeback from Walsall secures cup match win for the visitors

In an exciting u14 Staffordshire Cup match between Lichfield and Walsall, the teams proved to be very evenly matched.

The first half ended in a 0-0 deadlock, with both sides showing promising scoring opportunities, but their rock-solid defenses held firm.

The turning point came in the second half as Lichfield took the lead straight from the kickoff. Second-row Leo Brownhill showed his determination, chasing down a loose ball and scoring a crucial try under the posts. Devan Kundi's precise conversion added the extra points, giving Lichfield a 7-0 lead.

Walsall, refusing to back down, mounted a strong comeback. Following some good work from the forwards, the Walsall outside centre finished from close range. A successful conversion leveled the scores at 7-7, setting the stage for an intense final 10 minutes.

As the clock ticked down, it was Walsall who managed to break the deadlock, scoring a late solo try through a weary Lichfield defensive line and securing a hard-fought victory.

However, in a match where both sides displayed great determination and skill, the outcome could have easily swung in either direction. The match showcased the spirit of the game and the talent of these young players.
