Match reports
Rishworthians entered the under 7's and under 8's teams in the Morley Festival on Sunday.

Under 7's Results
The under 7's played three games at the festival.
The squad was Charlotte Siddal, Emma Bower, Sam Puddyfat, Callum Bell, William Symms, Corry White and Oliver Davis.

Rishworthians 2 York 4
Rishies battled hard against a well organised and drilled side in the opening game. Well taken tries by Callum Bell and William Symms kept them in it to the very end.

Rishworthians 3 Huddersfield YMCA 3
This was always going to be an evenly contested game. Rishies were always in with a shout thanks to some tremendous tagging by Charlotte Siddal whose competitive leading of the line draw some great play from the rest of the side. The entire team tackled there hearts out and were rewarded with tries by Corry White and two from Callum Bell which gave them a well deserved draw.

Rishworthians 4 Old Brodleans 3
The team was improving with every game and were now hunting as a pack. Forcing a number of turn overs and knock ons from Old Brods. Charlotte at one point seemed to be collecting tags for fun. Tries from William Symms and two more from Callum Bell meant it was 3 apiece going into the closing seconds, but a beautifully timed run from Emma Bower saw her go over in the corner, With barely enough time for the restart, Rishies had secured a well deserved victory.
