The coach Seb Long had this to say about the competition,
“ It was a fantastic weekend for the North West Tigers U16 boys, bringing home gold at the Inter-Regional Championships in Liverpool!
After finishing 3rd last year, the team came back stronger, more focused, and determined to take the top spot—and they did just that with a dominant performance throughout the weekend.
Over the past two years, this group has been working incredibly hard, and it’s clear that effort has paid off. The boys have grown as a unit, and their teamwork, composure, and drive were on full display. We’re especially proud of some of the younger players who are stepping up and showing real promise for next year’s competition.
As coaching staff we couldn’t be happier. Their attitude, work ethic, and performance this weekend show they’re not only talented players but also athletes with the potential to go even further. We’re excited to see how they continue to develop “
