Match Report: Catterick Crusaders U14 vs Wallsend Centurions U14
Final Score: Catterick Crusaders 36 – 6 Wallsend Centurions

Catterick Crusaders U14s delivered a confident and commanding performance in their March fixture against Wallsend Centurions, finishing with an impressive 36–6 victory that highlighted both their attacking prowess and their growing maturity as a team.

The opening stages saw Catterick explode out of the blocks, setting the tone with a fast-paced and fluid style of play. Their intent was clear from the first set — quick ball movement, sharp decision-making, and strong running lines had Wallsend on the back foot early. Four first-half tries came from crisp passing and powerful support play, with the Crusaders showing real chemistry and a clinical edge in the final third. Each score was a product of disciplined structure and growing confidence, as the team executed their game plan to near perfection.

But while the first half was all about firepower and flair, it was the second half that truly showed how far this Crusaders side has come in their development.

Rather than chasing points, the boys focused on game management — completing sets, building pressure, and winning the territory battle. It was clear that the coaching messages were being taken on board, as the team looked to control the tempo and make smart decisions under fatigue. There were moments where execution slipped, and Wallsend capitalised on one such lapse to cross the line for a try. But rather than letting their heads drop, Catterick responded with maturity — resetting, regrouping, and closing ranks defensively.


Their communication improved as the half wore on, with players taking more responsibility in organising the defensive line and managing the ruck. Offensively, they remained composed, adding three more well-worked tries to put the result beyond doubt. The final whistle blew on a performance that wasn’t just about scoring points — it was about composure, learning, and growth.

This was a game where Catterick showed both their attacking flair and their ability to manage a lead — a vital step forward in their development. With each fixture, they’re becoming a more complete side, and this result will no doubt give them plenty of confidence heading into the next challenge.
