Wisbech’s combined under-14 and under-15 squad began its campaign with an away performance at Thorney RFC on Sunday.
The team had completed a month of pre-season training before taking a 16-man squad to the match on September 27. Casey and Thomas made their debuts.
Wisbech scored early tries in dry conditions, with handling, individual skills and pace helping the visitors gain control. Tackling restricted Thorney, while recycling the ball at rucks gave Wisbech an advantage.
Thorney responded after half-time and put the visitors under pressure during long attacking periods. Wisbech met its half-time targets through direct running and passing, which created space out wide.
All players contributed to the performance. Several Wisbech players also played for Thorney to help provide a balanced match.
The game saw Wisbech wear its new playing kit. The club thanked the shirt sponsors, travelling supporters and Thorney RFC for its hospitality.
Malcom scored three tries, while Logan H, Andre, Reuben and Justinas each scored two. Alfie scored one try and added 12 conversions. Brandon scored one try for Wisbech.
