With blue skys and a bit of sunshine things were looking good for the U9s against Whitby.
It was a positive start with tries going either way at first, but with Whitby sporting a few U10s in their team things slowly turned in their favour despite a gallant effort from North U9s.
Even though defeat was on the cards this did not stop North putting in a performance to be proud of, yet again the tackling was outstanding.
It was the same story for the second game against Whitby as Acklam had decided not to turn up. So onwards and upwards as they say as we move on to Ripon this Sunday.
