Droitwich RFC 16's 12 - Lichfield RFC U16's 29

Tuesday, December 12, 2006

Droitwich RFC U16's suffered an unusual defeat against a very strong Lichfield side. The first half saw the away side use a strong breeze to their advantage and pin Droitwich into their own half, with Droitwich putting in a strong defensive display throughout. Lichfield led 12 - 0 at half time.

The second half saw Droitwich turn things around, putting the away side under a lot of pressure with the wind at their backs, only to see Lichfield extend their lead to 19 - 0 midway through the half. Droitwich then struck back with tries from Luke Harris and Adam Gwilliam, with Sean Hooper also going close, to close the gap and make a game of it.

In deteriorating conditions Lichfield scored two late tries to run out 29 - 12 winners.
