Match Report:
🏉 Morley RFC U14s vs Beverley RUFC U14s
Yorkshire Cup – Round 3
Sunday 23 November 2025
After two weather-hit weekends without a game, the U14s were back in action on Sunday as they hosted Beverley in Round 3 of the Yorkshire Cup. With limited prep, the boys stepped onto the field full of determination—and it showed.
Both sides opened with fierce defensive efforts. Morley set the tone early with huge tackles from Leo, Thomas and Jack. The breakthrough came from a moment of brilliance: Beverley kicked long, and fullback Josh gathered calmly before tearing almost the length of the pitch to score under the posts. Beverley hit back quickly with a converted try and later added a penalty, leaving Morley 7–10 down at halftime.
The second half mirrored the first—tight, physical, and hard-fought. Morley struck first again, with Josh crossing for his second try to regain the lead at 12–10.
But discipline started to slip, and a run of penalties allowed Beverley to pin Morley deep in their own half. Another penalty put the visitors in front, 12–13. Morley’s defence stayed heroic, with Tylan producing a sensational try-saving tackle, but Beverley eventually added an unconverted late try to edge the win, 12–18.
Despite the result, the boys walked off with heads high. Underdogs going in, they delivered a performance full of grit, teamwork, and heart. The coaches—and supporters—couldn’t be prouder.
🏆 Forward of the Match: Leo (outstanding tackling), with a big shout-out to Tylan for a huge defensive shift.
🏆 Back of the Match: Thomas, with special mention to Jack—the centre duo were relentless in attack and defence.
A brilliant game of rugby from a group that never stopped working for each other.
