Burgess Hill 0 vs 53 Under 14s

Sunday 08 Jan 2012
Friendly

Gs under 14s travelled to Burgess Hill for their first game of the New Year and put in an outstanding performance to blow away the opposition, Gs used the slope in the first half and  within minutes of the kick off the Gs were in front with the pack securing the ball and allowing Tancock to drive through the defence and off load to Carr on the outside.

Gs kept up the intensity and within a few minutes had scored again this time Tancock taking it over after good work from Robinson and Waite at 9 and 10, this time the try was converted and the Gs had an early 14 point lead, but it came at a cost when they lost Tingley with a suspected broken arm.

Hill started to come back in to the game and but for some good defensive tackles from Baston and Nicholls could have scored in the corner but they were stopped firmly in their tracks and the ball was turned over which allowed the backs to secure the ball and play some great running rugby with Taylor this time finding the opening to score under the posts.

Gs scored another two tries before half time with De La Haye and Tancock getting his second , Carr and DLH shared the kicking responsibilities to heap the pressure on to the hosts.

Gs started the second half as they had finished the first with Jardim securing the loose ball,  it was fed down the line to Hall who unloaded to Jamie Patterson who burst through to score his first try for EGRFC,  Gs now had a firm control on the game and were winning the lineout’s without fail and then using their physical power to maul their way up the hill,  this led to Dan Coen going over in the corner for their seventh try.

Gs scored and 8th and 9th try when Longford charged through the Hill defence and superbly off loaded to Brown for him to score,  Gs finished the day with some good work by Halliwell and Lord which led to DLH going over for his second of the day and he then converted his own score to finish the game off.

Team : Nicholls, Baston, Jardim, Tingley, Delahaye, Brown, Patterson, Longford, Robinson, Waite, Taylor, Tancock, Hall, Lord, Halliwell and Coen
