Our under 12s failed to topple Freshford in their home ground on Wednesday 24th June. Their first half performance lacked a bit on enthusiasm but they worked harder in the second half and Freshford found it more difficult to get scores. This was their first game together and with some more games under their belts they can improve no end. Well done to everyone.
