Ionians U14 Lexus tournament report
Hull Ionians (U14) Lexus North of England festival
Sunday 21st September
Sunday saw Ionians U-14s travel to Sheffield for the prestigious Lexus festival featuring teams from across north and central England.
Their first two games against Lutterworth and Nottingham resulted in heavy defeats in part due to the strength of the opposition but contributed to in no small measure by poor tackling and uncharacteristically sloppy handling by Ionians. One of the few bright points was the solitary try scored by Alex Wilkinson using his pace to go round the Lutterworth defence.
Ionians restored some pride in their final game against Lincoln rugby club. In an evenly balanced, hard fought game and with captain Rees Middleton and breakaway forward Pete McGlynn leading by example they were unlucky to lose by one try to nil.
After starting the season with two losing Sundays Ionians will be looking to improve. Their next competitive fixture in two weeks time, the first round of the Yorkshire Cup, would be a good time start.

Hull Ionians U14 v Bridlington Match report 14/9/08
Hull Ionians (U14) vs Bridlington (U14) Sunday 14th September
Perfect conditions for running rugby saw a close, and fiercely contested, game at Brantingham with Bridlington just edging Ionians by 40 points to 34.
The early stages saw Bridlington dominating at the breakdown and in the tight, driving Ionians off their own ball at the set scrum, and taking an early lead with a fine try under the posts.
With real pace out wide Ionians were looking to play to their strengths, and a quick hands through the back line saw winger Luke Johnstone released from halfway only to be hauled down just short of the line.
A series of try stopping tackles by Alexander Wilkinson, who had one of his best games in an Ionians shirt, inspired his team to contest more fiercely for the ball and work their way back into the game.
However, a series of missed tackles and dropped passes enabled Bridlington to wrest back the advantage and ease their way into a 24-12 lead early in the second half, with their stand out players Jamie Martin, Elliot Backhouse, and full back Spencer Day well to the fore in both attack and defence.
Far from letting their heads drop Ionians continued to work hard for the ball, and despite losing Luke Johnstone with a fractured collarbone, they showed real grit with Alexander Wilkinson, Jack Johnson and Peter Oughtred all crossing the line .
With only seconds remaining an individual break from halfway with a sidestep past the last Bridlington defender saw Peter Oughtred over the line for a second time take Ionians into a 34-33 lead.
That was time enough though for the versatile Spencer Day to open up the Ionians defence one last time, and cap an all round performance with the match winning try to see Bridlington home.
