Recs defang Vipers
U7’s v Crosfields Vipers
In their official season opener the red, amber and blacks welcomed respected Warrington outfit Crosfields Vipers to Ruskin Drive.

Both teams played great rugby with a smile on thier faces. Recs had a number of brilliant individual efforts in attack and a resolute team defence.

Man of the match Theo K took to the field like a man possessed, his energetic display rightly receiving the recognition it deserved, bagging a brace of tries whilst wowing the crowd with his dogged defence.

The winter break had left Maquez suitably refreshed and he dominated in both defence and attack, recording a hat-trick of tries and making countless tackles including a wonderful try saving cover tackle - a superb individual display the Crosfields coaches simply couldn’t ignore as they named him their player of the match.

Star player Sam C impressed in all areas, grabbing one try and producing two standout moments in the game with a pair of fantastic cover tackles that were applauded by both home and away supporters.

The elusive Sam P scorched in for two scintillating tries, with Reuben also recording a well-deserved double.

A trademark Theo B-M charge right through the Vipers defence added a further score.

Lillie played with all her might, unfortunate not to cross the whitewash with an effort ruled out by a matter of inches - her never say die attitude was an evident inspiration to the rest of the team.

Jackson and Issac were their usual tenacious selves, both bundles of energy and involved in all the action – both unlucky not to get on the scoresheet after promising runs.

A truly entertaining performance from Recs to kick off the season – well done boys and girls!
