Gaz Prytherch's under 8s made the trip to Waterloo for their first ever away game and held themselves well in all of the games. Jonny Armstrong and his under 9 squad are making strides in ability and adjusting to the contact aspect of the game, whilst Jonny Routledge's fledgling rugby players go from strength to strength each week, with numbers increasing and fun levels off the charts.
In the juniors, Matt Scahill and Ean Quirk have some real talent on their hands, in the under 10s and Helen's under 11s are developing into a fantastic side. Our under 12s side, run by club stalwart Adam Ainscow, have increased in numbers and are looking strong going into the new year.
Helen and Steve Charnley, also running the under 13s, are continuing her fantastic work to develop her sides into fierce competitors and Gary Hannah is overseeing our fantastic under 14s as they move closer to senior rugby.
Our awesome under 15s side has progressed into the cup semi final, where they have shown themselves to be a true force to be reckoned with. Under the stewardship of Si Staniforth and Cliff Kirby, the boys have developed into a proper rugby side who have a chance of bringing silverware to Green Lane, this season.
Danny Saunders' under 16s have gone from having four players to fielding a team with substitutes. A true testament to the work going on at the club. Some truly exciting players are getting the chance to showcase their abilities and will soon be preparing for senior rugby.
In the senior section, the young first team are continuing to find their feet in the ADM Premier division under new head coach, Ben Mitchell. Results are increasingly getting better and performances are committed and dedicated. Mark Lang's second team find themselves second in their league, where our relationship with Edge Hill University is bearing fruit. Some fantastic displays from our Beaver's players has propelled the twos up the league and into a strong position. The third team are currently second in their league and undefeated in nine games. Former first team captains, Cliff Kirby, Gaz Prytherch, Monty and PK, all turning out for the men in green, in recent months.
The ladies faced a tough Tarleton team, and although a loss, the talent and dedication from this newly developing section is something to aspire to. We have loved getting on the sidelines to support, and excited to see you progress during this season!
We would like to thank all club captains, coaches and volunteers for their work with all sections at the club. Without you, we are nothing.
