Pumas at Newcastle 9s
Peterlee Pumas are rebuilding and growing their Junior sections this year and the progress is coming on leaps and bounds. Chris Lee and Bruce Kinnersley have done a huge amount of work transforming the Under 15s into a strong competitive unit that looks better every time they take the field and are catching up with the opposition at a rate of knots, winning one game and drawing another was a vasts improvement on where they were as a squad last year and bodes well for the next batch of Pumas that will be playing open age in what will be no time at all. The under 13s entered 2015 with junst 4 registered players but have rallied to gether and more that three quarters of the team are new to Rugby and are also improving week on week. The 9s were a good opportunity to eperiment with positions and get people working together, the new 13s only able to manage 1 win but a steady improvement in each game as they learned from mistakes and put them right also bodes well for the future.
