Wee Reds P6 report – a lot can happen in 45 minutes!
Wee Reds P6s at Allan Glens
Sunday 22 September 2024
Report by Luke Smallwood
First away match of the season – Allan Glen’s.
A lot can happen in 45 minutes. On Sunday, Primary 6 managed to squeeze in 3 matches against Allan Glen, Strathendrick and GHA.
Allan Glen’s (not sure about that apostrophe) proved a very welcoming host and kindly gave us a lesson in the new rules for p6 (rucking, kicking and uncontested scrums). Linlithgow started slowly but really grew into the game as the hard work in training started to show. Despite some great rugby and a spirited comeback the host’s (I reckon that apostrophe is spot on) lead proved too big.
Next up were Strathendrick where the reds had a much closer match. Again we were chasing the game after some quick fire scores from Strathendrick but when p6 used the full width of the pitch it gave the travelling support something to cheer about.
The final game of the day was played against the green and red of GHA and I’m pleased to say that every try was scored by a player wearing red. GHA’s (good use of apostrophe here) passing and direct running was just too much for an understandably tired Linlithgow team. Things could have been different were it not for an untimely boot malfunction – but Linlithgow head back up the M80 with a hot-dog, lots of positives and plenty of things to try in training.
Busy 45 minutes!
