YOUNG GUNS ON THE WAY UP

Saturday 27th January 2007

Wibsey 10 - 34 Yarnbury IV

 

This game against Yarnbury was always going to be a testing game for the young Wibsey backs. What they lack in experience they make up for in enthusiasm. On several occasions Yarnbury broke the Wibsey defence and thought they were home free, but excellent scrambling defence from the young backs brought them down short of the line.

Wibsey made a few breaks up the hill at Beldon Lane in the first half, led by Micky Ball.

With the hill in their favour for the second half, Wibsey came out all guns blazing and crossed the try line early. The forwards led the way with strong running from prop Stuart Wilson, who had energy to burn as Yarnbury went to passive scrums.

Chris Paine deserves special thanks from the team, as he stepped up to take on the responsibility of scrum half, a position that he has never played up to this game. He linked up well with Fly Half Scott Smith and they were able to get the backs in to open space on several occasions.

The team is going from strength to strength as the season has progressed, showing improvement every time they take to the field.

Top perfomer for the opposition was Graham Chambers!
