| MUNTLY U13 LOSE OUT TO A VERY QUICK DEESIDE U13 SIDE |
| Wed 8th Nov 2017 |
A cold day but Muntly started on fire.
From the kick-off the ball was secured and great forward gain was made.
Four competitive rucks were successfully completed to be within 5m of the Deeside line.
A quick move from the fourth ruck resulted in a very strong drive and try from Roan Phillips. A great start!
Possibly caught a bit unaware, the kick-off was quickly recovered by Deeside and their strongest runner evaded 3 tackles to score so 1-1.
Muntly then had a strong restart but were caught out in a fast ruck to see the ball go wide into space for another fast runner to score for Deeside, 1-2.
There followed 2 line-outs which Muntly initially lost but then quickly recovered before being pushed out.
However, the Deeside line-out was stolen by Muntly although they struggled to get forward movement.
The first scrums saw Deeside quickly pushing Muntly back before they learned to hold their own.
A Deeside line-out then saw quick hands to get the ball out to Deeside’s flyer and a quick try so 1-3.
The end of the first 20 saw more competitive scrums from Muntly and some quick hands to get the line moving forward.
One unlucky knock- on saw a Deeside scrum get the ball out to a flying try, 1-4.
Muntly’s kick-off was very quickly moved back down the field by Deeside with some fine off-loads for the next try and 1-5.
A phase of scrums saw possession swap a few times from some much quicker tackling from Muntly.
An untidy defensive line, however, saw Deeside score with space to move, 1-6.
A quick push in the next scrum by Deeside saw them away, 1-7 and then 4 very quick phases saw them score again, 1-8.
The nest phases all went the Muntly way with a complete team performance although too many breakdowns rather than offloads did not result in a score for Muntly.
The third 20 saw a strong start from Muntly.
A long kick but great chase secured the ball and some fine running lines gained ground before a turnover and a penalty awarded.
Deeside worked the penalty well and scored for 1-9.
The kick-off was secured by Deeside and their flyer ran in try 10.
Deeside were confident now and despite some strong Muntly tackling, they managed to find space for a 1-11 scoreline.
Muntly rallied and quickly moved down the field from kick-off, secured a solid line-out and 2 phases later good try from Murdo for 2-11.
The final phases saw Deeside use their very fast runner to secure the final try at 2-12.
The Muntly team were certainly well up for the game and saw all players putting in a good performance but ultimately caught out by a couple of very quick Deeside runners.
When the Muntly defence moved up quickly, they made gains but a bit slower in the ruck saw their opponents given space and structure.
Muntly line-outs and scrums were also strong. All in all, the score was not really a true reflection of how competitive the game was.
U13s – Lewie Austin, Joe Elvines, Blair Garrick, Jack McKillop, Roan Phillips, Callum Robson, Nathan Ruck, Leon Ross, Jenson Fathers, Grant Hendry, Alasdair Hutcheon, Murdo Reid, Jake Harrison, Peter Edwards, Thomas Eadon, Mostyn Findlater, Logan Duncan
