Sunday, January 16, 2005

After winning the toss Droitwich found themselves having to defend against a strong set of forwards and some lively backs. Determined tackling from Georgia Flowerdew and Marcus Emmerson kept out a number of Old Halesonian attacking moves.

Sam Philips, Josh Feek and Joseph Terry worked well together in the scrum and won plenty of ball from the rucks and mauls.

Joe Ingle provided quick ball from the base of the scrum which enabled the backs to set up some fluent passing moves.

The best team performance so far was rewarded with a total of eight tries being scored. Scott Howell scored 4 and Michael Fletcher, Joe Ingle, Joel Power and Joseph Terry all scored one each.

In the best move of the day, Chris Stanley powered over the line after receiving a well timed pass from Tom Flowerdew.

Droitwich's third try was scored by Tom Flowerdew after the ball had been won from a ruck ten yards from the line.
