π€SENIOR RESULTSπ§‘
A big win for the 1st XV, who lead 51-0 at one point before tired bodies and a lack of subs allowed Eccleshall to grab four tries. A hat trick from Alfie Lawrie and a Man of the Match performance from debutant Johannes Bould were particular highlights.
π€Team sheets are out!π§‘
The lads are ready to rock and roll as we set off to Eccy and St Leonard's tomorrow afternoon.
Both kick offs at 2.15pm, both teams would love your support. Go well men!
