Match Report: Whitby 13-0 Seghill
Whitby claimed a 13-0 victory over Seghill, but the scoreline fails to reflect the true nature of the contest. Seghill dominated large portions of the game, particularly in the first half, only for Whitby to score against the run of play, taking a slender 5-0 lead into halftime.
Seghill applied constant pressure early on, controlling possession and territory, but poor decision-making in the red zone cost them dearly. Several opportunities went begging as they failed to convert their dominance into points. Whitby, on the other hand, struck with a quick counter-attack just before halftime to open the scoring.
In the second half, Seghill continued to push forward, but their inability to finish off promising chances became their undoing. Leaving as many as 15 points on the pitch due to errors and missed opportunities, Seghill couldn’t close the gap. Whitby, capitalising on Seghill’s misfortune, extended their lead with one more try and a penalty kick, sealing a 13-0 victory.
Despite the loss, Seghill’s heart and effort were evident throughout the match. Their physicality and determination were commendable, but their execution in key moments will be an area for reflection. Whitby, although second best for much of the match, showed their resilience and clinical edge, making the most of their chances to secure the win.
Seghill will feel frustrated by the result, knowing that their missed chances ultimately shaped the game, but their performance gives them plenty of positives to build on going forward.
