Lymm U18’s v Club Atletico Belgrano

On Tuesday evening we were delighted to welcome Club Atletico Belgrano U17-U19s from Buenos Aires to Crouchley Lane.

120 boys and their coaches on a UK tour were warmly welcomed at the club despite the cold and windy conditions.

The game was played in a fantastic spirit with the visitors strong and physical and Lymm matching them throughout.

At Half time Lymm had scored 3 tries to the visitors 2 and led 17-12.

Belgrano started the 2nd half strongly and scored 2 tries in quick succession. Lymm responded strongly however and both teams exchanged further scores.

With the clock approaching full time, our visitors got over for a well worked score in the corner and Lymm’s lead was cut to 4 points.

From the kick off however, Lymm pressed hard for a further score and were rewarded with a final try at the whistle.

Final score: Lymm RFC U18s 36 – 27 Atletico Belgrano U18s

What a fantastic example of the spirit of rugby and how it can bring people together from different parts of the world.

Thanks to Atletico Belgrano for a fantastic game and you will always be welcome back at Lymm RFC.
