On Wednesday 16th January Lorenden B team played Ashford away at Spring Grove. The match was captained by me and after winning the toss opted to play up field for the first half so we would be a little bit faster in the second half - rules of physics basically!

Ashford quickly gained possession and broke through our defensive line to score a quick try. Leo then made a similar break through Ashford's defence to score in the bottom corner. Ashford then replied with another try. Not wanting to make the same mistakes in the last match, I decided to tell the team to get the ball to the outside. Two excellent runs by Magnus, and excellent support from all players, saw us score two tries in quick succession. Gilbert made a good run down the middle of the pitch and quick balls out to Leo who saw some superb tries as he outpaced Ashford with his running. Good solid defence from Olly, Tom and I saw Ashford held up on our try line three times. Olly also scored with a solo effort after supporting Leo on a fast run down the pitch.

Man of the match Magnus for good supporting runs and making two runs away from our try line. He also supported at every opportunity and was unlucky to not get a try himself. Final score was Lorenden 8 Ashford 2.
