Acorn take on the Welsh York Acorn ARLC Under-13s were a credit to the club and true ambassadors of the sport on a groundbreaking tour of Wales. They first fought a fine game against NPT Steelers from Port Talbot. They thought a fantastic comeback had earned them a draw, only to be told the referee had miscounted and the Welsh team had won. But they also discovered NPT were an older team. On the next day they played a challenge match against Blackwood Bulldogs U13s, half of which was under rugby union rules, half under rugby league - and Acorn triumphed in style 40-16.
