| SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2009 - SUTTON COLDFIELD 0 - 20 HEREFORD | ||||||||||||||||||

Hereford 2nds moved into a one point
lead over local rivals Luctonians at the top of the Midlands Reserve
Team League with a 20 - 0 win at Sutton Coldfield on Saturday. With a
number of regulars unavailable the Hereford team had an unfamiliar
look but in difficult conditions the players worked hard for each
other and after a few errors and indiscretions had been penalised they
started to exert pressure on their opponents line. A strong burst by
flanker Andrew Potter after fifteen minutes was rewarded when he
off-loaded to flyhalf Richard Rees who beat the remaining defence to
score the opening try which he also converted for a seven point lead.
The visitors continued to use the favourable wind to pin their
opponents back and although intricate moves in the backs were never
going to be effective in the conditions two powerful bursts from
centres Simon Sabel and Paul Rees eventually forced the home side to
concede a penalty which Richard Rees converted to stretch the lead to
ten points. Hereford finished the half on top but the whistle for the
interval gave hope to the hosts who were looking forward to the
prevailing wind in the second period. The second half however did not follow the same pattern as the visitors lifted their game to another level and a charge-down on the halfway line was snapped up by the Hereford flyhalf who sprinted over for his second try. With the game virtually won the visitors turned the screw and pinned their opponents back until a catch and drive from the line-out was rewarded with a try for lock Dan Lewis. With the home defence creaking Hereford dominated play until an injury to one of the Sutton Coldfield backs brought an early end to the game. With the league table now taking shape the title of Champions now appears to rest between the two Herefordshire Clubs who have yet to play each other. |
