Henry Ropeti made The Drop Kicks first try and this was then followed by Nottle making his second try. At half-time Longford led three to one.

SALE United’s MiniRoos Kick Off Program came to a close last Wednesday with all players receiving a medal in recognition of their participation and improvement. The fully booked out program, designed for new players aged four to eight years, was held during second term of school where the kids learned a lot from coaches Solomon Nash and Will Coleman. The weekly 45-minute sessions built skills through games and simple drills delivered in a fun and engaging environment where every player got plenty of time on the ball and the prime aim of each session was for children to build fundamental motor skills. The club runs the program as a lead up to the Annual Primary School Twilight tournament and gives the kids the opportunity to get some skills behind them before it starts. The school tournament runs during Term 4 with details to come out next term.
