Try scorers were Saydi Smith, Liberty Trotter (two), Ebony Stead, Frankie Blakey and Harriett Hirst. Coaches’ player of the match was Faith Thorp and the parents’ player was Ellamai Anderson.
The U13s had to loan players, but they have got used to it during the season and it does pay dividends, allowing more game time for the players.
Conditions did not help, but they were able to put the ball through the hands. The heavy ground put a premium on speed and that was exemplified by Olivia Stead who was awarded the player of the match after scoring once for Castleford and twice when playing for Littleborough.
Poppy Adams won the opposition player of the match.
