Walsall u13's ( The Bandits )First season together.

What a great season of effort from the Young Bears ! Or as Sandbach and Lichfield coaches called them, The Bandits ! After Walsall came and took the festival trophy. Saying that wasn't their first season together.

Who would have thought that in July 2013 we only had between 4-6 players turning up for pre-season training. We now have 20 players.

We are all proud of what they have achieved together this season. So lads you have set the standard for yourselves next season.

A few facts and figures that I have put together,

Total tries scored 89
15 different try scorers

Total conversions 45
2 kickers

Total points scored 535 from 15 games
Total points conceded 282 from 15 games

The Young Bears are,

Dmitri Morrison
Luke Cox
Imann Ahmed
Fin Gibbons
Alex Maxwell
Josh Smith
Lewis Hawkins
Joe Webster
Leo Gilliland
Ben White
Joel Pepper
Oliver Topham
Callum Jukes
Sam Ferguson
Ethan Stanley
Rohan Mall
George Newell
Joe Birch
Jordan Clarke
Arnold Addai

Well done lads !

The Young Bears have 2 players in the Leicester Tigers Developing Player Program, and hopefully more of our players will be watched next season and get the invitation to join them.

A thank you to James Topham for helping out coach the lads this season.

Have a great summer lads and parents, stay safe and many thanks for watching and supporting the team!

A very proud coach,

Rob
