Ilkeston V Mansfield

U9's welcomed Mansfield to our pitches today, and all players hit the ground running in what was a very physical morning of rugby.
All games were fast paced with many hard tackles going in from both teams.

Ilkeston showed great sportsmanship on the field and worked really well as a team to push through a good solid Mansfield defence, some great passing and using the space saw them put some well earned try's over the line.

Players of the week went to Josh and Rueben both showed fantastic core values on the field and were tackling masters show good technique, another notable performance saw Henry (one of our smaller players) put in a text book tackle on one the Mansfields bigger players showing that technique will see you right no matter what!

Great efforts from all the team and super support from our parents!
