Pilks went over to Golborne this week with an afternoon kick off.

I have to say Golborne have fantastic coaches, volunteers and a brilliant set up at their ground!

I thought we was scrappy in defence but good in attack in parts. I personally thought we was too bothered about scoring than defending and this showed in our performance. Taking nothing away from Golborne They never gave up and was breaking our defence until the final whistle all credit to the lads at Golborne they gave it their all!

I gave trophies this week on the basis of, Golborne came and gave us their man of the match so I awarded their choice, two coaches choice and parents choice. I didn't give the top tackler as being honest I don't think any one stood out to deserve it I thought we all played the same in defence yesterday so wasn't fair to give it to one child, I noticed this caused a raised eye brow and a few choice words ( I have eyes in the back of my head me ha!)

Captain was Shay Varkulis, Shay I thought put in a few brilliant one on one tackles, his attack this week again was really strong and went crashing over for two fantastic tries! Shays backing up of the players was awesome this week as well!
Well done Shay brilliant game!

Captain and parents choice was Elliott Davies, this game was perfect for Elliott and we really seen him come into his own putting in an outstanding effort in attack. made a break running down the wing, Elliott seen he wasn't getting through so he looked for the offload and made a fantastic pass to shay Varkulis sending him over. He also made another fantastic break from his own line, just getting caught short off Golborne line, fantastic effort today Elliott and a well deserved parents choice!

Man of the match went to Lewis Taylor, Golborne came over and said they had a child for their choice of man of the match, we don't always do this but being honest I was stuck with trophies this week. They then explained their choice was Lewis as they thought he had a blinder of a game!
Lewis did put in a few brilliant one on one tackles and was strong in attack going over for a fantastic try, personally I don't think this was one of lewis' best games but Golborne seen differently and he was awarded man of the match!
Well done Lewis fantastic game!

Coaches choice went to Kieron Manweiler, Kieron put in a fantastic effort this week, he ran strong and hard with the ball, just getting caught short of the line, he helped his team out in defence when needed but it was his effort in attack that gained him this award! Well done Kieron fantastic game!

Coaches went to Josh Larkin, if I'm being honest for the last three weeks josh has stepped up his game and has had three fantastic games on the bounce, he listens to everything I ask of him and today he took the ball on his own line and I told him to run hard, josh seen the gap and went sprinting his way down the wing, had a cheeky look who was behind him and went crashing over for a fantastic try! josh made a couple of brilliant one on one tackles and was their to help his team when ever they needed him. Awesome this week josh well done!
