Goole U10’s 10 - Doncaster U10’s –10 Goole’s U10’s showed a marked improvement over last week despite having one key player still missing through injury, and the driving wind and rain. Doncaster made good ground to start with and opened the scoring early in the half but Goole pressured and came close to levelling the score on a number of occasions with good runs from Oscar Marshall and Alfie Walker into Doncasters half. Fierce rucking from Anna King backed up by Ethan Kenning and Ben Kama kept possession and the partnership of Harris McDonald as scrum half and Harry Goodall back from illness harassed Doncaster round the rucks to steal the ball and keep Doncaster under pressure until the end of the first half.The pressure paid off early in the second half as Goodall scored to draw level, and then a knock-on from Doncaster returned possession to Goole and despite good tackling from Doncaster Goole kept possession through several phases of play to get Sam Bland within driving distance of the line to put Goole ahead. Doncaster didn’t give up though, and a missed tackle on the wing allowed them to draw level in the closing minutes.Scorers – Goodall – 1, Bland -1In the following game against Driffield, Goole again dominated in the rucks and Ben Whiteley impressed on the wing helping Sam Bland and Ben Kama to tries for a 10-5 win.Meanwhile Goole’s development squad were also playing.
