We were able to secure a last minute fixture vs Sheffield (a team who had given us a very close game early last season). Following a very respectful minutes silence in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Mansfield Under 16's kicked off their first game of the season. Since both teams had plenty of players we decided to play 4 x 15 minutes. This was to allow us to test out a variety of players in different positions. Despite scoring a number of excellent tries we were finally out matched by a very strong side. However our aim has been met, we do seem to have enough players in each position to manage 2 sides as often as possible this season. Here's to a packed season of entertaining rugby!
