Scorchers 7s kick off in style against Tockwith

Scotton U7's kicked off the season with two hard fought, close victories against Tockwith.

In match 1 Scotton played really well with lots of good skills and possession. The team had 2 new boys playing - Tom and Jake, both playing really well in their first outing. Goals from Harrison and Ben Tweed put Scotton 2 up at half time with the second half continuing to be a tight game with Tockwith pulling a goal back late on however the boys held on with some great defending from Ben wilson and Edward with James going close to a 3rd goal as the boys ran out 2-1 winners.

Scotton started the second match strongly with some great teamwork both attacking and defending with 3 goals from Harrison to lead 3-0 following some really good team possession, passing and skills. Tockwith came back strongly in the second half with 2 quick goals and almost equalised but for a great save from Elliot to hold on to a 3-2 win.

Overall the boys played really well as a team and the man of the match awards were close with the awards going to Ben Tweed for his overall performance in the first game and Harrison for his performance and a hatrick in the second match - but well done to all the boys in the first game.
