“Hinckley develops it’s Juniors”

Hinckley Under 14’s sponsored by Williams Recycling and Promet Steel, enjoyed a development fixture at Melton Mowbray this weekend. A switched on Hinckley pack were soon mauling up Melton’s territory and a breakaway by Hinckley’s pack saw the opening try claimed by Hinckley’s prop Moran. The forwards’ form continued with flanker Wilson, and No8 Simpson also going over, with Cull converting. As spaces opened up, Hinckley’s backs threatened, and successive phases of play eventually set up a piercing run and score by Cull, who converted his own try for a half-time lead, 0-24 to Hinckley. Melton’s half-time team talk however worked wonders as they opened the second half with two quick forwards tries, both converted, taking the score to 14-24, as they set about taking the game to Hinckley. With Melton sensing a turnaround was just within grasp, the Hinckley lads reacted and dug deep. A Melton mistake gave Abelson the gap he needed to score and extend Hinckley’s lead 14-29. Melton to their credit never gave up and surging runs by their No8 and Centres combining, managed to break the Hinckley defences for a final score 19-29. A great result and enjoyable game for the newer lads of the Hinckley squad, with Man of the Match awarded to Harvey, for his relentless hard work in the loose.
