News from the scrum

Greetings readers well today was a great day in the rugby career of Thomas. Today he played his first properly competitive full contact game of rugby. He played a game against the under 10s at Huddersfield last week and finished on the winning side. Training for the past few weeks has left people with the feeling that there was clear potential within the team but that they were missing something.

Well today they found it. Today Huddersfield u9's travelled to Ilkley for the first match of the season. As is usual we took two teams. Tom played in the first match which was won by 13 tries to nil. The second match was won by 3 tries to nil. The first match was just astonishing to watch and even the coach didn't know where the performance had come from.

To add to the day's events we met up with a university pal for lunch and can recommend the Ilkley Vaults pub for a Sunday lunch. I am now preparing for the trip to Scotland at the weekend.
