Not the most polished performance and very scrappy at times, but a bonus point win keep unbeaten run going

Coney Hill visited Cheltenham Saracens and if the opening results of the season were anything to go by, there were expected to win at a canter against a team who have struggled so far this season.

Saracens were clearly keen to keep the game tight as they moved the fixture from the main pitch to a much narrower, barely regulation size pitch which in all honesty was barely safe to play on.

Despite that Hill flew out of the blocks with a perfect opening play as they collected the kick off, cleverly worked their way upfield for Ryan Kline to score. What should have set them up for a great performance, probably actually caused complacency to come into play as the remainder of the half was very disjointed with poor decision making and skills often letting them down. Despite this further tries were scored by Callum Ralph, Rob Cooke and Joe Porter and 2 Carl Fritchley conversions gave them a 24-0 half time lead.

Sarries continued to battle and you can do nothing but give them credit for their efforts, however slowly Hill cranked up the gears and ultimately their speed of play allowed them to score 7 2nd half tries through Cooke's 2nd, Captain Ryan Stephens, Ace Lewasaru, Fritchley, Tom Anderson (after another 10 minute rest in the Sin Bin!), Liam Urquhart and a barnstorming 40 metre run from tighthead prop Conrad Jones. Fritchley added a further 4 conversions.

Team; Joe Porter, Ryan Kline, Kai Turner, Cam Hunter, Carl Fritchley, Aaron Fowke, Joe Twomey, John Dix, Tom Anderson, Conrad Jones, Ryan Stephens (C), Callum Ralph, Luke Mann, Liam Urquhart, Ace Lewasaru. Reps: Ollie Twomey, Siggy Ciakas, Rob Cooke.

Man of Match: Joe Porter
