For the second week on the row Cheshunt U16’s started off strong, totally controlling the match on all parts of the field with the Backs running some great lines. Sadly also for the 2nd week on the row a simple mistake allowed the opposition to win the ball and run in the first try of the match (0-7).
Cheshunt continued to control the match but Harlow’s pack started to dominate the scrum and more importantly in the rucks as well with Harlow continuing to clear the Cheshunt players off each ruck.
Unusually for Cheshunt they found themselves playing on a small junior pitch which started to create problems with finding space for the backs to run into. As the match continued it started to become increasingly bad tempered with both sides becoming far more physical and sadly, with the referee missing a few knock-ons by Harlow, Cheshunt started to feel hard done by.
Late in the 2nd half tempers flared when initially Reece was caught on the wrong side of a ruck and unable to roll away, he received a boot to the head, quickly followed by Jordan being dump tackled. By this time both sides had become hot tempered and it was decided to abandon the match with a few minutes still to run.
