Old Brods u17—15v 22 Doncaster u17
Brods suffered their first loss of the season after losing away at Doncaster. The game started well with brods on the front foot, Donny kept brods out with some spirited defence . james Millington and joe sealey where to the fore with storming runs. Brods where awarded a penalty which was duly kicked by tom Wilson. This was the last points of the half for brods as Donny scored 3 unanswered tries taking the score at half time to 19-3.
Brods have not been in this place for some time and rallied well in the second half. Some great play by sam burford ayre saw the forwards get a roll on and Elliot craven broke free to score. This put brods back in the game and burford ayre was next to score with Wilson adding the extras. Score now was 15-19 and all to play for. Donny would not roll over and against the run of play they kicked a drop goal. Brods where still in it but needed the last 5mins to go their way. James hodkinson set off with the ball passing to George ayrton then out to Millington, and everything was in place for the try, but for the last pass which went to ground. Game over with brods feeling they had thrown the game away. This was a tough test for brods and they will have to pick themselves up to be ready for west park leeds in 2 weeks time. A loss is a bitter pill to take but one we must learn from and not have to take again.
