This years U7s put in a great performance in their first festival at Barkers, showing great energy throughout and a well organised defence (for the most part). Ethan never stopped working in defence, and was always a willing support runner in attack as well as making some great breaks of his own. Harry was consistently fast out the defensive line to cause the opposition difficulties, and made a number of storming runs with ball in hand. Imogen made a number of perfectly executed tags and started to show some defensive leadership with cries of “wall” at every restart. All three deservedly got on the scoresheet on a number of occasions, and should feel incredibly proud of themselves.

A huge thank you to Barkers for such a well organised festival, and to all the teams that we played for lending us a fourth player - who each deserve praise for their performances in a Spartans shirt too! Thanks too to Isa for her help, and to everyone that came along to support.
