Rugby v Birkenhead School

On another bitterly cold day at The Ridings we welcomed Birkenhead Prep for an U11 fixture. We arrived and went about our warm up in the usual way and getting ourselves ready for what was to be a very physical game. Birkenhead arrived a short while later and we got the game underway as soon as possible to prevent the February cold setting in. As the game kicked off it became apparent that every ruck, every maul and every scrum was to be a battleground to win the ball. Birkenhead opened the scoring, but Redcourt replied instantly with a great break from Scarlett Fielding. However, Birkenhead’s quality shone through and slowly the game drifted away from the hosts. Despite a good try from Joe Brennan and another two from Scarlett, to complete her hat-trick, the score ended up convincingly in Birkenhead’s favour.

There were many positives to take from the game; Noah Randall and Dominic Seddon were scrapping for every loose ball and disrupting play whenever they could, Scarlett’s three tries, good defence in the back line from Joe Brennan, Michael Spreag and Arran Kearney. But the brightest light was a Man-Of-The-Match performance from Prep 5 Luca Casaletto; tackle after tackle he kept Birkenhead at bay, including a huge hit on a very big Birkenhead forward!

Well done to all who played; Scarlett Fielding, Dominic Seddon, Michael Spreag, Noah Randall, Lewis Burrows, Joe Brennan, Arran Kearney, Sean Harper, Harry Culshaw, Ryan Sides, Edward Oulton and Luca Casaletto.

Thanks to Mr Arnold for refereeing and Mr Fielding for his continued hard work with the team. Thanks also to all the parents who came out to support in the coldest of conditions.

Mr B Tagg.
