Old Redcliffians 19 Leicester Lions 45 Saturday 15th October 2022 League Points 0-5 Lions go into overdrive in the second half. Lions in seven try heaven. Old Redcliffians 19: Tries: Dominic Sprague (8), Penalty (26), Jon Cook (39); Conversions: Archie Payne (8); Following the disappointing home defeat two weeks ago to league leading Bristol club Dings Crusaders, Lions were keen to make amends and show their ability against another Bristol club, Old Redcliffians. Half Time: Old Redcliffians 19 (3 tries) Leicester Lions 19 (3 tries) After ten minutes of the second half Lions had a purple patch when they outplayed Old Reds. In a five minute period they scored three tries. Firstly Lions hooker, Oli Taylor, drove his way over for a try, speedily followed tries by dynamic winger Devon Constant and then back row Johnny Murdoch finished off the hat trick. Bouchier added to Old Reds misery by adding all the conversions, taking the score to 19-40. Full Time: Old Redcliffians 19 (3 tries) Leicester Lions 45 (7 tries): A keenly contested game between two well matched sides in the first half, but Lions went into overdrive after the break. Seven tries to Lions and three to Old Reds, with Lions showing their class in the second half. Gareth Collins, Lions Head Coach, commented: “The lads responded well coming back from the disappointing result against Dings Crusaders two weeks ago. They played confidently against Old Redcliffians, who gave them a testing game, but showed some real class with their second half performance”. Teams: 15-9, 1-8, Replacements:- Old Redcliffians: Jack Curtis, Finn Murphy, Jon Cook, Dominic Sprague, Ezra Caven, Archie Payne, Will Luxford, Alex Harvey, Tom Ford, Ellis Joseph, Chris Persall, Pat Walton, Don Farmer, Sam Taylor, Mason Gill-Watkins Leicester Lions: Alex WilHuckleberryson, George Watkins, Jamel Hamilton, Dan Martin, Devon Constant, Luke Bouchier, James Stubbs, Tom Williams, Oli Taylor, Isaac Thompson, Will Ward, Ollie Tapscott, Ethan Godefroy, Johnny Murdoch, Chester Owen Next week, on Saturday 22nd October, Leicester Lions are at home to Bournville, at Westleigh Park, Blaby, with a 2.00 pm kick off. |

Wharfedale's report of Saturday's home game against Tynedale
From a personal perspective, Tynedale's pack (in particular the large front 5) bossed the first half in both the tight and the loose. 2nd half, playing into a stiff breeze, Tyne managed to win the kicking game, largely in part to their fly half who controlled field position superbly. This being aided by a level of naivety from Wharfedale. I love to watch running rugby and it's great to see us trying to play with ball in hand but a level of pragmatism would have worked a treat on Saturday, using the wind to try and pin Tyne back in their own 22 and make them play out from there instead of getting possession around half way.

Didn't recognise George Watkins. He changed a lot from when he was a youngster on loan from Bristol to Dings back in 2010. Just as good a finisher as ever though.
