Standout Performances

There were some standout performances across the park:

• Owen Schofield made some excellent runs and carried strongly throughout.

• Ollie Rushton (Debut) – A special mention to Ollie on his debut at open age—he split the defence brilliantly and put in some huge tackles all game.

• Ashton came up with some crucial try-saving tackles when needed.

• Ash O’Rourke – Great to see Ash back in a Wildcats shirt for his first game in 10 years—and marking it with two tries.

A brilliant team performance and another strong result for the Wildcats. Well done lads! 👏🔴🔵
