Leek Lightning under 16 girls continued their winning ways with a nail-biting win in their second National Cup pool fixture against Burton.

Burton got the first points on the board, putting our girls under pressure from the start. But that only seemed to add fuel to the fire, with Leek battling hard and keeping the intensity high throughout.

With no substitutes available, our girls dug deep and kept pushing right until the end. Burton scored two tries in the closing stages, but the final whistle came just in time as Leek held on to secure a 27-32 victory.

Leek's try scorers were Ruby (2), Jess (2), Celia and Morgan, with Aoife adding a conversion.
And a special mention to Frankie, who made her Leek Lightning debut. What a game to make your first appearance!

Celia won player of the match for an outstanding performance, putting in some huge defensive work and stopping numerous potential tries.

A big thank you to Burton for a brilliant game and a great morning of rugby - a fantastic Leek team effort from start to finish, we’re incredibly proud of you all!
