Broadland up to third with 2 games to go.

Broadland Gt Yarmouth produced a strong attacking performance against a determined Swaffham team, in front of a large crowd.

A strong forwards performance from M Greenwood, and S Brown gave Broadland an excellent base to build a dominate performance.

Second Row C Calnon secured Broadland ball at the lineout well and was a constant threat to the Swaffham line out. Back row of D Gook and L Fox with second row K Wilkes were busy all day clearing rucks, tackling everything and carrying the ball well into contact to get Broadland on the front foot.

Pacey centre J Wells continued his excellent form scoring 2 long range tries outpacing players and evading tacklers to score form 60 metres.
The Broadland backs looked dangerous all game long with winger J Murray ran 60 metres to score his best try for the club. Powerful winger Ben Burch got on the scoresheet crashing over after a good passing move involving C Black and J Doggett.

Evergreen fly half S Murray continued to development into a forward after scoring from a maul last week he crashed over form close range and good work from C Calnon, and K Wilkes.

New no 8 Dan Lawrence continued to impress in a Broadland shirt with strong running and tackling, completing an excellent performance with a try. Captain G Wilson recovering from a nasty cut last week got himself on the scoresheet.

Swaffham played hard all game, and got a deserving try late on.
