After a defeat to LSA earlier in the year, the stage was set for a clash of the titan’s rematch and revenge has been on the mind of all our players since. With a few noticeable dropouts on the day which left us with the bare minimum, it was up to the lads to rally together and give 100% without injuries.
2 minutes into the game revenge was clearly on the mind with a silky bit of play out wide to Freddie Potts to take an early lead.
The half time score was 26-5 to Garstang, but was this enough for our boys? Not a chance. They continued to play out of their skin and the game finished a staggering 43-5 to Garstang. Garstang are confirmed Wyre & Fylde Champions!
Jake J missed the previous game and he clearly had some making up to do, with a man of the match and captain's performance scoring 4 tries and 4 conversions.
The Powell brothers could not leave Garstang without leaving their mark, Jacob saw daylight with a turn of pace Usain Bolt would have been proud of and squeezed in a try. Charlie, using his stubbornness and wit scrambled the ball over the try line.
I personally could not be prouder of the determination and teamwork shown by every single one of the players. An absolute credit to Garstang and what a way for the year 11’s to end their sporting reign over the years!
Please congratulate all of the boys on this great achievement.
