ANOTHER WIN FOR WYKE

WYKE WERE MISSING OF FEW PLAYERS,SAM MCAULEY (SICKNESS) CHARLIE WEEKS (KNEE) AND JACK OFFEN. BUT THERE WAS A DEBUT FOR NEW SIGNING DARYL WATTS.
DOCKERS STARTED WITH BALL IN HAND AND WYKE SOON SNUBBED THEM OUT.
AFTER SOME GREAT DRIVES FROM THE BIG LADS IN THE TEAM KEIRAN WALL , TYLER CONROY AND TOM SHAW, JOSEPH STAINES SCOOTED FROM DUMMY HALF ON THE LAST TACKLE TO SCORE WYKES FIRST TRY AND JOSEPHS FIRST TRY OF THE SEASON. DOCKERS REPLIED ON 5 MINUTES WITH SOME GREAT PASSING ONLY FOR TYLER CONROY TO PUT WYKE BACK IN FRONT A MINUTE LATER.THE PITCH WAS VERY SKINNY AND BOTH TEAMS DEFENDED WELL TO LEAVE IT 2-1 TO WYKE AT THE BREAK.
THE 2ND HALF STARTED WELL WITH BEN STUTELY GOING OVER FOR HIS FIRST TRY OF THE NIGHT,ONLY FOR DOCKERS TO HIT STRAIGHT BACK. HARRY GUNN-MCLEAN THEN GOT ON THE SCORE SHEET ON THE 20 MINUTE MARK BUT AGAIN DOCKERS HIT BACK ON 22 MINUTES.IN THE 23RD MINUTE SAM CLARK SCORED WYKES 5TH TRY OF THE NIGHT TO OPEN THE 2 POINT GAP AGAIN.AFTER A COUPLE OF SHUT OUTS FROM BOTH TEAMS,DOCKERS AGAIN CLOSED THE GAP TO 1 TRY ON THE 28 MINUTES. WITH A MINUTE LEFT BEN STUTELY SCORED HIS 2ND OF THE NIGHT TO RESTORE THE 2 TRY GAP. THERE WAS ALOT OF GOOD PERFORMANCES ON THE FIELD CONSIDERING THE LOSS OF 3 GOOD PLAYERS. JOSEPH STAINES STOOD UP TO THE PLATE AND DID A GREAT JOB FILLING IN AT DUMMY HALF WITH SOME GOOD PASSES AND SCORING FROM DUMMY HALF.THERE WAS ALSO A GOOD DEBUT FROM DARYL WATTS WHO TOOK THE BALL FORWARD WELL FOR HIS FIRST EVER TASTE OF PLAYING IN A RUGBY MATCH.THE FUTURE LOOKS GOOD AT HULL WYKE WITH A LOT OF PROMISING TALENT IN THE U8S A,B AND C TEAMS, AND WITH THE COACHING PROVIDED AT THE CLUB THERE SHOULD BE MORE SILVERWARE ON ITS WAY TO HULL WYKE FOR YEARS TO COME.

MAN OF THE MATCH JOSEPH STAINES
