The u16s had the edge over their opponents for most of the match, but couldn’t put them away. A first half penalty from Gregor and a second half try from Jamie had taken them into an 8-0 lead, however a fine converted try by Hutchesons pulled the Reds lead back to a single point. The young Reds rallied and closed the match out on the Hutcheson line for a fine 8-7 win.
