After a brilliant opening fixture against Altrincham, our First XV faced a tough Hymers School side from Hull in the first round of the National Vase. Despite dominating possession in the first half, Crossleys found themselves 19-17 down at halftime. Tries from Sam M, Will IB and a fantastic team effort finished by Harry S kept the score close.

The second half was tense, but Oscar D crossed for two opportunist tries, helping Crossleys hold on for a thrilling 29-26 win despite another try from Hymers. Incredible resilience and teamwork from the squad.

Well done lads!
