Leicester Tigers U18s fell to Newcastle Falcons 26-19 on Saturday afternoon at Kingston Park.

Tries to Finlay Hayward, Oliver Docherty and Yaw Afirifah-Mensah and a pair of conversions from flyhalf James Egerton weren’t enough to cover up a slow start from Tigers as Newcastle twice got out to a two-try advantage in the game.
