Paul Colton, Coach of Manchester RHC part of the Regional Coaching Team said the following :

“I would appreciate if you could mention on the web site about the performances of all the players for all the northern sides over the weekend without any prepartion everyone played with great pride and put in some excellent performances all wer a credit to the there clubs and the NCRHA.

I have to make a special mention to for players who played in the NCRHA youth side.
I a minor Aiden Lawlor, Two intermediates Beth Cook and Charlie Armstrong and FInally one youth Player Aaron Scott. Firstly they are used to playing 15 minute each way games not the twenty that was played (int rules state they should be 15mins) They were effectively playing against a Herne Bay United side (sechra) that are all to old to play international Youth Hockey.
From Being 4 goals down after 5minutes they put in a perform that filled all watching with pride they brought the score back to 4-2 at half time and quickly made itb 4-3 infact they controled, dominated completely outplaying the opposition until they finally conceded two goals with less than eigth minutes to go. The end result was inevitable with a intermediate goalkeeper Cameron scott who has only ever played 30 minute games. But the final score cannot detract from what is one of the best performance I have seen from Northern players at any age group in my carreer as a coach.

Well done to everyone who played this weekend and to the four mentioned They are High on my list great Northern Players.”
