Academy v London : Sun Aug 27, 2023 10:24 am  

Easy win for the academy lads 66-0. Even so a lot of mistakes from the outside backs but the middles looked very strong. Stand out players for me would be number 12, 8, 11 and 13. Well played lads.

London unfortunately seamed to give up a bit at the end hence the 66 0 but I agree defensively a good performance especially down the middle.

2 of players mentioned there are too old for academy and only played through special dispensation through lack of numbers
8,charlie tetley cracking player coming to end of his academy stint supprised he aint been offered better than he as
11, ashton winks 1st year acad gets better every week
12,luke mearns,reserve contract who trains alot with first team
13 ellis roberts 1st team plsyer

I didnt go but lad was there(has his op in weeks time thank god)he said same as you london poor but only to look at league and results and results to know they would be but you can only beat whats in front of you and they really are low on numbers hence the 3 older lads playing.
Only 1 game left for them now and currently have 5 wins from 11which isnt too bad think at one point we were 4 from 6bso hoping for better but injuries came along

Cheers for that Luppylad - best wishes to your lad with his Op.
How is Sam Kavanagh getting on? Was told he was a good prospect but haven't heard anything about him
for a while.

Sounds like Brough was dangerous at full back….

Will Brough was probably the pick of the backs and is obviously a great kicker. He does not normally play full back but thought he did a decent job.
