Official West Hartlepool RFC

Yes - the report says it all really. Some great play from our lads yesterday, good set piece, more aggressive at the breakdown than we have been meaning quicker ball and some deadly/battering runs from our two centres resulting in a handful of tries for our flying wingers - great to watch. (I've noticed that Max is also developing a nice reddish tint lately when the sun is at the correct angle.)

All that together with the "Souter Fiver" ensured a great result.

Well done to everyone 😀

Great photos too Kathryn - Thank You 😉

Excellent result considering our two top scorers were missing.
Forget any play-off game. Novos will be keen to do a "Westoe" on us and spoil the party so let's get everyone out at training and focus on this Saturday and nothing else.

Good point PU ... we’ve been given a reprieve few people expected. We can’t afford to throw the chance away.
Hopefully we won’t waste possession as much as we did against Gateshead, when our ball retention in the tackle was worryingly poor at times.

Fair point about ball retention actually - it will be better on Sat though - all will be well and both the Disco Bus and Brinkburn will be bouncing 😏
