It was tough pickings for 10is Academy after experiencing heavy defeats in the National League.
The Ely club’s 12U boys were victims of the Cambridge LTC steamroller in their 12-0 loss in Division One, and head coach Sebastien Scaux stated where his team could improve.
He said: “The 12 & Under boys team won their previous game against Peterborough, but you could see a lack of intensity and focus.
“Against powerful players like Cambridge LTC have, playing without focus and high intensity doesn’t give you much hope of victory.
“The boys are gutted because they know there's more in them.”
It was a similar fate for the 10U mixed team who, despite a battling performance, lost 10-2 to Bourn.
Scaux added: “Both our teams played with three players instead of four.
