Broughton Red Rose  0       Seaton  46

 

Broughton Red Rose played their part in a very entertaining game but could not get through the stubborn Seaton defence which was well led by hooker Jack Earl and second row forward, Jon Carl Bryan. Seaton created their first scoring opportunity after quick hands from Dom Smallwood and Greg Kerr released Stewart Galacher who burst through the line and offloaded to Conor Fitzsimmons for a superb try. Greg Kerr added the conversion.

Broughton defence stood firm for the next 10 minutes until Seaton winger Billy Southward raced  in for a 70 yard special, Kerr Converted.

The final try of the half came from a scrum when Domonic Smallwood danced his way over to score in the corner making a half time score of 0-14.

 In the second half, Seatons big and more experienced forwards began to make good yards resulting  in fullback, Brandon Renny scoring two quick tries under the posts with Kerr converting both. Broughton were over the line twice only to be held up by excellent Seaton defence. Conor Fitzsimmons scored directly from a scrum and minutes later produced the try of the game with a 60 yard run straight from the kick off.

A great move from the scrum resulted in Greg Kerr going in for a well worked try and added the conversion.

After a good run from Dan Monkhouse, great hands from Greg Benson, Smallwood and Kerr released flying winger Billy Southward who scorched in from 60 yards to score his second try and complete the scoring.

Broughton competed until the final whistle and gave a very good account of themselves in a game not as one sided as the score line would suggest.
