Long Eaton 55 Belper 22

“Malvin goes top of the Try Chart”

As the score line suggests, this was an entertaining free flowing game. What the score line doesn't reflect is how much the Long Eaton team were tested, up front in particular, and how competitive Belper were throughout the game, getting their just rewards with a 4 try bonus point.
With firmer ground, Sally and Rhona will be a lot happier with the Laundry this week! The backs were much happier too, looking dangerous every time they had some quick ball. James Jowett made his full debut and was impressive at scrum half. Ben Taylor another youngster made his full home debut and was solid at blindside.
The nine tries came a regular intervals, with 4 conversions from Kyran Powell. Del Veenendaal, the returning Ben Milton, and Malvin Mazorodze scored a brace each, Malvin's second taking him top of the try chart with 19. Gary Sumpter, Aaron Walker, and Penalty try completed the Scoring.
