K's bounce back to finish the season in style

After back to back defeats and a ridiculous amount of injuries, a slightly depleted Kesteven U13s squad travelled to Lincoln on a sunny morning seeking to end the season with a positive performance.

First Half
With some experimental formations, and playing up the slope and into the wind, captain for the day, Will H opened the scoring with a powerful run from 8 yards out, 0-5.

Wyatt touched down K's second try following a creative grubber kick through from Alfred A, 0-10. K's third was a lovely try, with K's running several phases to drive up the pitch before a powerful run from Will H, drawing the man, dummying then offloading in the tackle to a supporting Alfred A to touch down, 0-15.

Lincoln chalked up their first try after some initial strong defence, 5-15 before a trademark strong run from Dan restored K's 15 point lead, 5-20. Callum came on and made an immediate impact with a rip and run, before spreading the ball to Henry S who galloped over for his first try of the season, 5-25.

Second Half
K's started the second half strongly. A lovely run from Callum resulted in a moment of comedy when he jubilantly put the ball down just over the 5-metre line rather than the try line - luckily Dylan was on hand to pick up the ball and touch down for the try, 5-30!

A strong run from Thom B added another try before Lincoln scored from the kick-off, 10-35.

From a scrum, Wyatt looped round to pierce the line at pace, touching down to extend the score to 10-40. There was then a lovely exchange between Wyatt and Alfred A to put Dylan in in the corner, 10-45.

At this point, K's agreed to take a player off to balance the game. It didn't work as K's continued where they left off, this time spinning it along the line to Dylan to score his third of the day, 10-50.

Alfie O then got in on the action, with a delicious dummy before winning a race to the try line, 10-55. Lincoln kept pushing and some resolute defending from K's kept them out before a turnover enabled K's to spread the ball wide to Ollie Martin who ran in from his own half, 10-60.

There was just time for K's to win a scrum against the head (with a pack of just 5) and a gorgeous delayed pass from Alfie O played in Oscar on the crash ball to take the final score to 10-65 and end the season on a high.

Post Match
Men of the match were Dylan and Callum - well-played boys!

Season Stats
Henners' first try of the season meant that a total of 23 different players scored tries for K's this season (24 if you include 'Penalty Try' and 25 if you include Laurence's controversially disallowed try against the clothes-liners!!).

The boys finished with 15 wins and just 4 defeats, scoring a total of 175 tries in 19 games, with a total points haul of 875, conceding just 325 to give a points difference of 550!

These are incredible statistics and the whole squad should be very proud! Well done U13s! On to U14s where we'll play the full 15s game for the first time.
