28 Sept 08, Halton F H v's Wigan St Pats

 

A slight reshuffle in the Hornets ranks paid dividends as they came up with an emphatic victory over Wigan St Pats.

 

Dean Ainsworth collected the MOTM award for a tireless display in both attack and defence, supported superbly by Alex Clare and Top Tackler Conah Keenan.

Other notable performances came from Sam Osbourne and Jonny Wood in the pack.

 

From the kick off the Hornets put themselves under pressure after surrendering possession and had to withstand the Pats onslaught.

 

Dean Ainsworth produced a great tackle to win back the ball and on four minutes, Alex Clare raced eighty metres from the base of the scrum to open the scoring. Dean Ainsworth added the extras from bang in front.

 

Three minutes later, Alex Clare grabbed his second after Ainsworth had sent Tom Murtha on a great run down the left, and from the restart Sam Osbourne picked up superbly and outpaced the Wigan cover from sixty metres out. Both conversion attempts were missed.

 

Wigan St Pats hit back after a succession of penalties which were needlessly given away by the home side, and the visitors took advantage with a try in the corner. The HUF U14’s faced up to the Wigan attack and defended well to finish the first half in front at 14 - 04.

 

In the second half a great chase and tackle from Alex Clare forced a goal line drop out which landed into the hands of Sam Osbourne who blasted over the line injuring himself in the process. Dean Ainsworth added the extras.

 

Dean Ainsworth was next to get over after an intercept and winning the race for the Wigan line from seventy metres out. Joe Kelly slotted the ball over for another two points.

 

An Ainsworth Clare switch resulted in a try for Jonny Wood on the right and the same combination produced Woods’ second try, this time on the left with Liam Mercer converting.

 

The Hornets showed a big improvement on last week’s display and with some hard work should produce even better performances.

19 Oct 08, Chorley v's Halton F H

 

The Hornets travelled to Chorley with four key players missing and met a very strong Panthers side who totally out-gunned the visitors.

 

Despite an eight try salvo from the home side the Hornets showed a better team spirit than in previous weeks. Man of the Match Dean Ainsworth lead with a courageous captains display and was superbly supported by Conah Keenan who was a constant threat with his powerful running and Jonathan Wood was terrific in the loose forward role.

 

Both shared the coaches’ award.

 

Tom Murtha got the biggest cheer of the day from both sets of supporters for his drop goal which ensured the Hornets got on the scoreboard.

NORTH WEST COUNTIES CUP - Round Two.

 

Hornets welcomed back Sam Osbourne and Alex Clare to the team despite both carrying slight injuries in this North West Counties Cup 2nd round clash.

 

Leigh East started like a house on fire and took advantage of some sloppy play from the Widnes side.

 

East’s’ were 10 nil to the advantage after five minutes and a drubbing looked on the cards. The home side stretched their lead to 14 points before the interval but the introduction of Alex Clare at half time gave the Hornets a boost.

 

Conah Keenan was the first to go over after great work from Luke Farrell with Dean Ainsworth adding the extras.

 

Confidence was rising through the Hornets ranks and it showed in their play as they produced good attacking rugby with one such passage producing the next score; Matty Freeman going over after great hands down the line. The goal conversion attempt was missed.

 

The tremendous fight back was complete when Alex Clare went on a blockbusting run and scored on the right to equalise but the conversion fell short taking the game into ‘golden point’ extra time.

 

The Hornets however gave away possession and then territory cheaply to Leigh East and after a great break by East’s’ from deep in their own half and despite a try saving tackle from Alex Clare the next play resulted in a drop goal to send East’s’ into the next round.

 

Notable performances came from Dean Ainsworth (MOTM), Luke Farrell and Conah Keenan shared the coaches award and most improved was Lee Clarke-Rogers. Most tackles Conah Keenan.

 

Tries Scored:
Conah Keenan, Matty Freeman and Alex Clare – 1 each

 

Conversions:
Dean Ainsworth - 1

 

Awards:
