Let’s get behind the team and make some noise for the Swords! 🔴⚫⚔️

Today we turned up with a game plan and we delivered it perfectly. Spreading the ball well and working Pilks defence. Pilks had a big set of players that constantly threatened our line but we showed up in defence. On a small pitch we scored and worked some lovely try’s today.

Player of the match Oliver sponsored by , fantastic at hitting passes to hands at the line and putting his team mates in for try’s. Solid in defence a solid all round performance.
Parents player Jack sponsored by 36 Bridge St,
Strong carries and bursts through line Jack always carried with intent to break the line and he got rewards with a brace of try’s. Most pleasing was his powerful shot on a fierce runner stopping him in his tracks and lifting his team.
Joseph award Jacob sponsored by St Helens Muay Thai,
Jacob brought lots of energy today in baking hot conditions always winning his tackles and controlling the tackles. Most pleasing was his runs at the line, he was hitting the line hard and was a threat.

🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT 🔥
This week’s spotlight shines on one of Thatto’s toughest competitors –
Alfie #31 💪⚔️
Alfie is the definition of commitment. A hard-running forward who never takes a backward step, he’s always looking to make metres and put his team on the front foot.
Defensively, he’s just as fierce. Whether it’s a one-on-one tackle or stopping a break, Alfie throws everything into every hit and never shies away from the tough work.
What sets Alfie apart is his fearless attitude. He puts his body on the line week in, week out for his teammates, showing courage and determination every time he pulls on the Crusaders shirt.
Most importantly, Alfie loves this club. He wears the badge with pride and represents Thatto Heath Crusaders with passion, heart and commitment every single game.
💥 Hard Running ☑️💥 Hard Tackling ☑️💥 No Fear ☑️💥 All Heart ☑️

What a game. What a team. What a performance from the Swords !!

From the very first whistle, the boys showed exactly what it means to wear the red and black — hard runs, hard tackles, and unbelievable team play from start to finish. Every player stepped up, dug deep, and gave absolutely everything for the badge.

💥 Hard Runs – fearless carries, driving into contact and never taking a backward step. Every metre was earned through grit and determination.

💪 Hard Tackles – the defence was relentless. Big hits, strong effort and players putting their bodies on the line for one another all game long.

🔥 Unbelievable Team Play – this was more than individual moments… this was a team performance. The support play, passing, communication and effort for each other showed what this squad is all about.

Win, lose or draw — performances like that make coaches, parents and supporters proud. The effort, commitment and togetherness on display were outstanding.
