It was a great team effort by the Borough youngsters who played their best rugby of the season.

Harry’s older sister Alice Bennett is Borough under 18 girls' leading try scorer this season, and she is on the England 'Centre of Excellence' programme which has led to her making several appearances for Loughborough Lightning's Academy team recently.

Borough’s under 18 colts team earned a lot of respect from one of the top clubs in the country at their age group, as they bowed out of the East Midlands Cup at the semi-final stage.

They lost 48-21 at home against Olney in a game much closer than the scoreline suggests.

Alphin Hadfield and Luke Frazer celebrated tries for the under 14s and Charlie Preece kicked a conversion in a 24-12 home defeat at the hands of Rushden & Higham.
