Match report for Flint U13's

Flint travelled to Birkenhead looking for there first win of the new year. Flint started the stronger team and took the lead after 5 minuets when No. 8 Chris Wildman broke from the back of the scrum to touch down (unconverted). Flint went further ahead 10 minuets later when open side flanker Luke Williams finished a good passing move to score, Ellis Roberts added the conversion. Birkenhead Park then scored a converted try just before half time.
As the second half started it became apparent that Flints forwards had fallen asleep and some poor play from the backs allowed Birkenhead to score an early unconverted try to draw level. This was quickly followed by another to put them ahead. Flint didn't respond and again some poor tackling allowed Birkenhead to score another try. Flint forwards finally woke up and started to compete, Luke Williams ran in a solo effort to touch down his second (unconverted). Flint kept on attacking and when a Birkenhead Park ruck was turned over Luke Williams picked up the ball to score his hat trick. Birkenhead Park then came back into the game and when Flint gave away a penalty 5 meters from there try line Birkenhead scored a converted try to take the victory.
