BRONCO JUNIORS FINISH RUNNERS-UP AT HORNET EVENT - 17th May 2008
Two wins out of three saw a very young Bronco Junior Squad pick up 2nd Place in Glasgow.
Overall, in the three games the team played really well ... particularly against the much older,
taller and wiser Wildcats A (their only loss).
Finishing in Runners-Up was a fantastic achievement especially when you consider
the average age of the team and that the Wildcats had beaten us three times in a very recent friendly.
Well done everybody ... you could not have put in anymore effort !
