Mellish too strong for Mansfield

The game started with Mansfield pushing close to Mellish's tryline in the first few minutes. However, Mansfield conceded the first try of the game....and also lost a key player in the run up to the try with GEORGE falling awkwardly, in what turned out to be a fracture of the tibula & fibula. I have been informed that George will undergo surgery Monday.
The club wish George a speedy recover.

Once the ambulance had left for the hospital, both sets of coach's and teams agreed that the match should go ahead.

A combination of the size of the Mellish forwards & the powerful back line running saw us run in eleven tries without reply.
Missed tackles was the achilles heel for the home team but they more than matched Mellish in the Scrum.

The Mansfield team never gave up & continued to fight for every ball till the end of the game.

A good distribution of players scoring for Mellish; nice to see Henry scoring again & tries for Joe & Shaun.
Adam scoring with a broken finger..... (remember standing on him on Wednesday Joe?)

16 points for Daniel.....you need to thank your teammates for making it easier for you!
