SYKES WINS COMMANDO VALUES MAN OF THE MATCH VS WIGAN

The Academy boys were defeated against Wigan Warriors last Friday but put their all into the contest played in very hot conditions over at Robin Park.
After the game review, Archie Sykes, who has just been selected for Yorkshire once again, picked up the Royal Marines Commando Values Man of the Match award.
Head coach of the Academy, Steve Fox commented on what Sykes had done during the game to have earned the award.
"Whilst everyone was disappointed with our performance and result on Friday, Archie who is one of our more consistent performers was once again consistent for the full 80 minutes. Every carry Archie made he gained positive metres and a quick play the ball. Defensively he was solid throughout, not only in contact but his work off the ball as well."
"Archie was voted MOM by both his fellow team mates and the coaching staff. It is this consistency, that has probably earned Archie another place in the origin squad again."
Congratulations Archie and keep up the good work!
