Milton Power To Win Over Turbulent Brook

From a Millbrook scrum on half way Milton gained possession and took play into the Millbrook 22 where a tackle released the ball which was picked by Chris Conacher who continued the attack and passed to Dalton Thomas for the touch down.

Millbrook responded decisively from the kick off gaining possession of a loose ball and moving it through their backs for a converted try.

Play calmed down a bit for period, but following a Millbrook scrum on half way Dan Mallard gained possession from a tackle and passed the ball to Chris Conacher who made the break through passing to Charlie Jewiss to complete the score.

This was quickly followed by Milton gaining possession on half way passing the ball to Charlie Jewiss who simply ran through the defence using his pace to evade tackles to touch down converted by Connor Hammerstone.

Millbrook gained a line out on the Milton 22 but Jude Payne gained possession and ran through the defence tackles passing to Dan Mallard to continue the break to make the touch down.
