Huge respect and thanks to Wyatt, George, Jacob, and Alfred for coming to support their teammates.

First Half
K's opened the scoring with a good finish from Aidan after a good turnover from Thom B, with Alfie O slotting the conversion, 7-0.

K's second try was well-worked, Oscar offloading to Tom McD, who offloaded to Joel in the tackle. K's recycled quickly and Oscar went in under the posts, giving Alfie O an easy kick, 14-0.

Aidan scored the third after K's won a scrum against the head and passed the ball along the line, 19-0.

K's continued to dominate and probe, running several phases, first right, then left culminating in a very satisfying try for skipper Will against his old team, 26-0 (Alfie O).

Second Half
Up stepped Will H again after the break, extended the score to 31-0, before Alfie O went over following a 5m scrum gained from sustained K's pressure. Alfie slotted the kick too, 38-0.

K's were dominating now and pressuring Sleaford, before Mason went over to extend the score to 43-0.

An excellent turnover from Joel enabled K's to go along the line to Aidan who ran in his third of the game, 48-0.

There was still time for a fast, incisive K's attack which Mason scored to extend the gap to 55-0.

Post Match
MOTM was Rhys. Well played!

Enormous credit to those boys who happily played for Sleaford when injuries took their toll: Toby, James and Max (apologies to anyone I missed).
