Fev 48 Keighley 6 final score
Not quite as disastrous as the final score would suggest ,
The Young Cougars with an average age of 18 , came up against well organized and speedy Fev side with a fair sprinkling of first team fringe players.
Apparently they beat Fax U23's 48-0 the other week , so for our first hit out of the year the Cougar Youngsters were not totally overawed .
The Cougars Points were sccored by a Ben Stead Try and his subsequent conversion with Coach Dean Muir singling out Stead and Prop Danny Snowden for praise , Captain Snowden leading by example with a no stop performance in the front row. Ethan Hawksworth also impressed on his return to his junior club from the Bradford Bulls.
Muir also praised the efforts of Cal Hudson ,Dan Gregory and Sean Kelly for their willingness to play out of position when a late injury withdrawl left the squad short of a halfback .
( Another statistic , out of a 20 man squad , only two were not a product of either the Clubs Scholarship or the Cougar Cubs set up !!)
