CULCHETH EAGLES U15s 08 - SADDLEWORTH RANGERS 44

Eagles  played host to division leaders Saddleworth for their first round Lancashire Cup match and were faced with an up hill battle only being able to field 9 men. However, again Eagle grit and determination saw Eagles register the opening score through the dogged determination of Reece Carney, the first half closed at 4 - 14 with the visitors having to work hard for their points. Again Carney opened the second half scoring as he crawled over the line dragging three defenders with him. Eagles put in a valiant effort but eventually Saddleworths extra numbers took it’s toll and saw them score 5 comfortable tries to take them through o the next round.
