Raiders Under 8's continue to show real good improvement, with another couple of non-competitive (or non recorded) wins under the belt. Last week against Kippax was much more satisfying than yesterdays game against a very inexperienced Batley Boys side.
The lads have really come on leaps and bounds since just before the Easter break with the games against Eastmoor and Kippax being their best 2 performances by far and a way. Yesterday I let the lads defend on their own without me on the field with them, a couple of the lads really took charge and organised themselves only conceding 1 try in the whole game. Going forward we weren't our best but it's hard sometimes when there is a big ability difference and everybody wants the ball trying to run round them and score.
Shaw Cross next week, don't think we have beaten them in the 4 or 5 times we have played them so will be interesting to see how we do.
