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.
