SEATON 60     PENRITH 4  

 

A plucky Penrith side worked very hard but struggled to contain the big Seaton forwards in this high scoring  game, Jack Earl produced an outstanding performance at hooker and was well backed up by huge props Stewart Galacher, Ellis Mewes and loose forward Conor Fitzsimmons.

The first try was created by Greg Kerr and finished by Conor Fitzsimmons with Kerr adding the conversion. Centre, Nathan Postlethwaite showed great speed when running in from 40 yards and scored an identical try two minutes later, both converted by Kerr.

Conor Fitzsimmons smashed through the Penrith defence for the final score of the first half giving Seaton a lead of 24-0 at the beak.

Prop forward Stewart Galacher burst through the line on his own 20 yard line and raced the length of the field and had what seemed half the Penrith defence on his back before collapsing under the posts for a wonder try.

Centre Dan Davies jinked his way over for two quality tries after brilliant interplay between stand off Domonic Smallwood and Jack Earl. Dan Davies then set up Greg Kerr with an outrageous pass under the Penrith posts.

A massive hit by Jon Carl Bryan caused a Penrith dropped ball which Conor Fitzsimmons picked up to score an easy walk in under the posts. Jack Earl got his well deserved try when bulldozing his way over from acting half back. After 4 consecutive sets on the Seaton line, Penrith scored a superb try from their influential stand off, Joe Banks. Seatons final try of the game came from a neat chip and chase from Fitzsimmons to give a final score of  Seaton 60 Penrith 4
