P5s on fire at StewMel!
Match report by Paul Hunter
Following on from a brilliant performance at a very muddy Currie the week before, the P5s team arrived at Inverleith on Sunday morning to take on Heriots, GHA and Stewarts Melville’s 3 teams!
When up against these 5 strong teams, in each game the boys didn’t take a backward step, with some courageous and determined defending from the whole team especially Harry, Julian and Patrick in their committed quest to defend Linlithgow’s try line.
Ollie had some amazing breakout runs, with Ferris and Brodie excellent at shifting the ball away from contact. Throughout the tournament, the team demonstrated brilliant offloading from the tackle, resulting in try after try.
Further highlights included Rory’s and Gregor’s incredible try saving tackles during the GHA game to make sure of victory.
Our final game of the morning was against Heriots, with all the pressure on Angus to reach his ‘burger on the way home’ reward try target. He duly delivered!
With 3 wins and 2 draws, the coaches were delighted with the team’s effort. There was an added pat on the back from the Stewarts Melville head coach on the high skill level on show from Linlithgow.
Bring on the next tournament!
