L&Y U16's welcomed a tour side from Essex in Maldon at the weekend.

A good start from both teams, L&Y were up for a game from the start , and a good first 5 mins, saw the home team applying pressure to the visitors and it looked like a try was sure to follow but sadly a silly mistake and the visitors punished them with an early try into the far corner.

The home side was playing well in the first half and you could see the hard work in training paying off, with their ball handling skills and set plays . The first half finished 12-12 after tries from Jake Gouldry and Marcus , with 1 conversion from Joseph Brighty in difficult kicking conditions with a westerly cross wind.

The half could have been different with a missed penalty again due to the wind and a disallowed try from Andrew Harding after a forward pass the teams finished a in a very even and enjoyable first half. 12-12.

The 2nd half seemed that the lads just switched off for the first 10 mins, where another silly mistake allowed the visitors to score twice, with one conversion and it was then a catch up game. The lads dug deep and managed two further tries from Sim and Matty Calvert (who remembered his boots this time) with Ryan converting the last try to finish the game.

Overall, a good performance from all, with some things to work on in training to bring into the next game and end the season on a high!

Thank you to Malden for coming up and choosing to play L&Y as part of their tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
