Seaton Rugby League Club Match Report



Seaton 22   Distington 6
Seaton continued with there winning start to the season with a resounding victory over a spirited Distington side who showed signs that they to can enjoy a good season in a game that was punctuated with penalties. It was Seaton who scored first when after a good break by Callum Phillips Mark Routledge was in support to take the pass and finish in style from 30 metres out for a try that Brett Phillips converted. The next 15 minutes of the game belonged to Distington however as a combination of penalties and good ball control and short kicking meant they enjoyed an avalanche of possession and after some good passing they made the numbers pay as Shaun Adams picked out a good angle and reached out over the try line to score Clayton Sutton adding a good conversion to tie the scores up but despite this the Seaton defence was excellant and they got back into the lead when with a few minutes to half time a dink over the top by Callum Phillips was Tip back by Brett Phillips and Richard  George raced fourty metres under the sticks although it did appear to have been a knock on. Half time 12 6. Seaton started the second half with high intensity and dominated the stanza as Distington started to tire and go side to side in attack as they were met with stiff resistance up the middle of the field and the lead was extended with 17 year old Chris Highton in at the corner having been fed by Mark Routledge expertly. Phillips missed the goal but the camels back had been broken and Seaton went onto secure the win when Rooke fed Ryan Blair to finish in the corner off what appeared to be a forward pass, Phillips adding a superb conversion.
