THE WIGTON GAME IS ON AFTER AN EARLY MORNING INSPECTION.

A brilliant start to the season from our Colts who have won their first three competitive games and sit proudly at the top of the league. After a tight opening game where they defeated close rivals Rockcliff 24-19, they have inflicted two big defeats at home to Novocastrians 43-17 and last weekend 12-47 at Redcar.

Team Manager Grant Taylor commented: “We have had a fantastic start to the season with three wins and confidence is building. We are still lower on player numbers than we would like but we have a solid core of lads putting in a huge effort for the club”.

After the trials and tribulations of last season this is wonderful news and huge congratulations to the players, coaches, parents and of course Grant for this excellent start to the new season.

The next game for the lads is this coming Wednesday, 1 October 2025 when they entertain Berwickshire in the County Cup, KO is 7.30 pm and on Sunday, 5 October they host Darlington in the National U18 Cup, KO TBC. All support would be most welcome.
