Cotham Park Away Match Report
From the start the away side took control and looked confident with ball in hand. The home side were poor in the loose and gave to many penalties away. However specialist kicker Luke Peer was having an off day and missed two penalties early on.
However Levens didnt let this bother then and a move wide saw winger Shane obrien out strip his opposite number and cross over outwide. Peer miss the extras. It wasnt long before the winger was at it again cuasing havoc in the back line, and crossed over again after Sam Smith offloaded at close range. Peer missed the extras.
Before half time drew close centre Smith created his own space and outsprinted the defence to dive over the line. Peer added the conversion putting the away side 17-0 up at the break.
Levens continued to spread the ball wide in the second half, but a neat inside ball from Rich Rudge send Gavin Stokes crashing up the middle of the park, and surpisingly offloaded to Winger Dance 5 metres out to score under the posts.
Three quick fire tries from full back Wilton, Smith and Dance wrapped up the win, but with Peer off kicking form the score should have reached 50 points.
The away side were rewarded for there conitinued efforts on the final whistle when there winger crossed from close range. and there full back added the extras from outwide.
Man of the match went to Shane obrien who showed maturity and confidence on young shoulders. Captain Dave Byrne was pleased with the performance but knows they face a tougher test next week as they entertain top side Dursley.
