Newbold U17’s      12        Aylestone St James U17’s    7

Newbold welcomed the Jimmies to Parkfield Road, and took the spoils on a lovely Sunday morning.    After moving the world’s biggest swan from the pitch the game got underway with early pressure from the home side.  The scrum was immense and the lineout really effective also, but the Jimmies were a side that fought for every scrap of possession in the loose.   Newbold combined well to put Webby in at the corner, and were playing some fluid rugby, but the scoreboard stayed at 5-0 until Newbold scored their other try early in the second half - nothing was going to stop DP from that range.  Jimmies hit back with a score and could have snatched the game late on.   Newbold need to learn how to turn pressure into points if they are going to fulfil their potential this season.
