St Neots U13s made their first trip to Stewarts and Lloyds on Sunday, anticipating a tight match on the fantastic first-team pitch. On a blustery day, the large S&L side started strong, carrying hard into a determined and resilient St Neots defence. It was debutant Dylan who settled the team's nerves, powering over the line for the opening score. The first half finished with St Neots holding a commanding two-tries-to-one lead.

The benefits of a tough summer of fitness training truly showed in the second half. A mobile and energetic St Neots side, strengthened by impactful substitutions, began to dominate. By moving the ball effectively, they stretched the S&L team, scoring tries through both wide, flowing moves and direct, powerful running. The team’s superior fitness told as they pulled away to seal a convincing 10-1 victory. To cap off a great day, Kian celebrated his birthday in style with a well-deserved Man of the Match performance.
