A few shots from our first away game of the 26/27 season! 📸

The result wasn’t what we wanted, but the lads gave it everything across a full 80-minute battle against Willenhall 2s. 💪

There was plenty of action to capture, from some seriously impressive defensive work and big tackles to strong carries, pressure at the breakdown and some great passages of rugby. 🔥

The boys never stopped fighting and showed plenty of determination right through to the final whistle. 👊

Plenty of positives to take from a tough away game — now it’s back to work and onto the next one. 🔴⚫
