The Tiger under-7s firstly played a fairly evenly matched game with West
Norfolk under-7s which finished 4-4, with Ely probably the stronger
side.
There was some good tagging, strong support play and effective
running from both teams.

the gap was reduced Ely had to concede 4-3.
The Ely scorers were Matthew Whitworth, Daniel Piper and James Everitt-Carr.
