Catterick Crusaders U14 vs Gateshead Storm U14

Final Score: Catterick Crusaders 26 – 14 Gateshead Storm

Catterick Crusaders U14s continued their strong run of form with a hard-fought 26-14 win over a resilient Gateshead Storm side. The Crusaders showcased their attacking flair in a dominant first half, before digging deep in the second to secure the win.

From the opening whistle, Catterick looked sharp and focused. Their attacking sets were clinical, shifting the ball wide with confidence and linking up seamlessly across the park. The team looked every bit as composed as they do on the training field, and their hard work paid off with four unanswered tries in the first half. The Crusaders’ defence was just as impressive, shutting down any threat posed by Storm. By the break, Catterick had built a solid 16-0 lead.

However, the second half told a different story. Whether it was a drop in intensity or a lapse in concentration, the Crusaders allowed Storm back into the contest. A series of missed tackles and unforced errors saw Gateshead cross the line twice, clawing their way back into the game.

Despite the pressure, Catterick regrouped well. A crucial try midway through the half steadied the ship, and although Storm added a third try late on, the Crusaders held their nerve to close out the match 26-14.

While the second half offered lessons to learn, it was another strong overall performance from Catterick, who continue to grow in confidence and cohesion as a team.
