Thatto Heath 3 - 8 Pilkington Rec ARLFC

Pilks turns up today knowing they were facing tough opposition in the Thatto ranks.

The team talk before the match was simple, the performance was what mattered and let's see how well we can work together when we put our minds to it! Well they did, putting in a team performance second to none and leaving Thatto more than a little shellshocked at the end of the match!

Our newest members to the squad, Sam Caddick, Kyle Prescott and Dylan Haury were keen to get involved and are fitting well into the team.

Charlie Swift, Max Tracey (1) and Joshua Thiselton once again had strong runs getting the ball up the pitch,and provided their usual excellent defending to keep Thatto at bay.

When it comes to defending Ethan Moore again threw himself into tackle after tackle, Reece Boadey and Aaron Cranny , who is gaining in confidence game on game, defended superbly.

The Thatto team tried hard to hold us back but Cameron Cranny, Jacob Wilding and Daniel Sutton all powered forward getting valuable metres up the pitch, and when it comes to support play Jack Bailey and Joshua Burton were outstanding, backing up and passing as well as putting in some great runs themselves.

But the star today, and who took Thatto by surprise with his speed,which they found it impossible to stop, was Daniel Tabern with 6 tries under his belt and the well deserved Man of the Match!
