A superb try scored by Tynedale RFC's Rob Parker has been named as the Samsung Try of the Month by England's scrum coach Neal Hatley.

Rob began and finished the counter attack for Tynedale during his side's 38-20 win at home to Otley in National Two North in February.

"It's a great team try, said Hatley. "He receives the ball on the back foot and then shows great footwork to score."

The try was even more special for 22-year-old Parker as he has only just returned to the side from injury.

"I've been playing for Tynedale all my life but this was my first home game this season so to score was fantastic," said the winger.

"I just remember hearing the call from outside me that it was on so we went for it. We like to run it as much as we can at the club and that's why we have had a good season this year."

The Samsung Try of the Month competition is open to all levels of rugby below the Greene King IPA Championship, including all ages, men and women, boys and girls, touch, tag or contact rugby.

Each month a legend of the game will judge the competition, while the winning club will win £1,000 worth of Samsung products. The person who enters the try will win the latest Samsung handset.
