Wee Reds p4s at Stewarts Melville Lions

Sunday 8th November 2026

Report by Liam Anderson

What a morning! The pitches at Stewart’s Melville were about as muddy and wet as they come, but you’d never have known it from the way our P4s played. Not one complaint about the conditions, just big smiles, muddy kit and some brilliant rugby.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been working on two things in training: looking for the better pass to a teammate in space, and running into contact when there’s no pass on. On Sunday, both came through loud and clear. We saw players lifting their heads, spotting support and moving the ball on, and when the space wasn’t there, they carried strong and committed into contact without hesitation.

That’s exactly what we’ve been asking for, and every single player contributed. The coaches couldn’t be prouder of the effort and how much the team has grown over the last few months.
