With a slightly depleted squad Wirral travelled to Kirkby Lonsdale for the quarter finals of the Divisional round of the RFU National U17 Cup.

Wet, boggy conditions greeted Wirral and playing up the slope and into the wind, Wirral soon set-up camp in KL's 22. But to no avail, several attempts were made to breech the KL defence but a mixture of U16's and U17's from KL put up a very spirited fight and held Wirral at bay.

Half time 0-0

Second half, Wirral started well with the slope and the wind in their favour.

KL's defence soon gave way and Wirral got their first try, scored by Jake Carter after 4 minutes of the second half. Further tries by Jordan Winstanley and another by Jake, had Wirral 15-0 after 25 minutes.

A further try, awarded as a penalty try, saw Wirral run out 20-0 winners in a very good match, well contested and played in very good spirits. Well done to both teams for a great game.

Also thanks to KL for their hospitality and good food. Much appreciated. And finally to "Butch" who refereed the game. Many thanks for standing in.
