Hunslet Parkside U-13s 28
Garforth Tigers U-13s 20

This game was end-to-end action and entertainment and both sides should be applauded for their effort and skill.

In a hard and at times ferocious match Garforth came up just short although they opened the scoring within 20 seconds of the kick off, Kyran Slinn collecting the kick and running hard into the defence smashing through and running the length of the pitch.

Then Parkside turned it around scoring twice in quick succession helped by some lovely kicking. Garforth then muscled up and tried hard to find a break through but for some handling mistakes and some dubious refereeing were unable to find a gap.

From the kick off Garforth ran hard and fast this time Stephen Howgate and Kyran Slinn leading the way pulling Parkside over to the left then spreading the ball right for Alex Hodby to drive over. All this hard work seemed to be undone when Parkside got a breakaway try.

The Tigers dug deep and again pressurised the Hunslet line. This time Matty Law and Joe Hardy adding their skill to creating space for Ben Sherrard to score . Converted by Joe Hardy. Parkside never gave in and again with great offloads caught us on the break.
