U15s - Bridlington Vs Barnsley

Bridlington U15’s 0 Barnsley U15’s 49 (Yorkshire Cup - 1st Round)

Barnsley U15’s enjoyed an outing to the east coast at Bridlington in the first round of the Yorkshire Cup, and came away with a 49-0 victory. It was an exceptional performance with seven tries being scored and every one being converted.
Captain Dominic Barrow led from the front as usual and scored two typical tries within the first ten minutes. Both were made by the second row picking up from the base of rucks and forcing his way over the opposition line.

The interpassing and support play was devastating at times and following a rumbling drive by Sam Moss, the mobile prop off-loaded to flanker Max Brook who scored a well worked try. Dominic Barrow added his third conversion of the day.
The fourth try saw hooker Matthew Potts being stopped short just short of the line, but he managed to pass inside to Sam Moss who stretched full length to plant the ball over the line.

The backs then got in on the act with Joe Maycroft squeezing over in the corner after the ball was moved quickly down the line. The forwards then used some aggressive rucking to force their way in to the Bridlington half. The ball was then moved along the line to Joe Maycroft who showed excellent pace to round the opposition defence for his second try.
The final score came when Tom Henighan received the ball 20 metres out and he managed to thread his way through the Bridlington tacklers to finish off an excellent cup-tie. Liam Roebuck added the conversion.

The referee could have awarded the man of the match to any one of the Barnsley side after such a comprehensive team performance, but he chose prop Sam Moss for his all round contribution, support play and versatility as he metamorphosised in to a flying winger in the second half !
