Silsden Storm U9s put in what can only be described as their best performance of the pre season so far in a closely contested match against Keighley Albion.
From the start, both sides showed real intent, making it a competitive and exciting game throughout. The game took place at teh home of Keighley Cougars – Cougar Park, and Keighley Albion brought some strong energy, but Silsden matched it every step of the way with determination and growing confidence.
