Thomas the tackle man of the match as Elks U11's run close to Paviours.

In a fixture against Paviors in a series of 10 min matches to give all their squad a game, The squad played well enough and were unlucky on the day to just miss out by a try or two over the whole morning – mention though must be made of Ellis Thomas who was voted Man of the match for his tenacious tackling - one particular moment will stay with us for quite a while and made the whole day worthwhile – one of the Paviours players was over the goal line, just going down to score a perfunctory try, when from nowhere Ellis flew in timing his tackle to perfection, knocking the ball out of the attackers hands, what a fantastic saving defensive tackle – we will struggle to see a better tackle all season!
