“U14’s vs. South Leicester – A game of two halves…””

The Hinckley Under 14’s, sponsored by Williams Recycling, hosted South Leicester this weekend. Early end-to-end play made for an exciting start to the match, but it was a well-executed South Leicester back line move that set up a first corner score, giving South Leicester an early 0-5 lead. Hinckley quickly bounced back with another opposing back line move bringing full back Gibson into the line, to create the overlap and South Leicester confusion, enabling Gibson to punch through for a Hinckley score under the posts. Hinckley then continued to press home their advantage, with some great teamwork and forwards supporting play, which moved the ball at pace across the field, stretching South Leicester to breaking point. Hinckley built up a commanding lead by half time, through tries by Cull, Redhead, Tom and Simpson (2), with conversions by
Lally (2).
Hinckley then rotated their team in the second half, to give their new players match experience, but South Leicester were quick to adopt their game to Hinckley's less experienced players, and started to break through Hinckley defensive lines, using their outside centre to create many of the moves, finishing strongly in the Hinckley 34 – South Leicester 31 result. Hinckley’s Man of the Match was Simpson, for his powering runs off the base of the scrum.
