Reading Rule!

It was a very frosty morning at Letchworth this Sunday and all the pitches were frozen solid but a good deal of wintry sunshine was just enough to thaw out the top pitch by the 1pm kick off of the U18s match against Reading.

With Letchworth down to only 10 fit players this weekend, Reading kindly loaned the home side a brace to allow a 12-a-side match to take place.

The first half was close fought but with Reading generally on the attack and Letchworth resolute in defence and just a single try separated the teams at the interval. In the second half, however, the Reading attacks were relentless and the visitors were eventually amply rewarded on the scoresheet though the home side tried every way they could right to strike back right up to the final whistle.

Final score : Letchworth 0 Reading 41
