Seaton 16
Broughton Red Rose 24.
These teams met for the second week running and
this time it was Broughton who came away with the points. Seaton began
well but Broughton withstood the pressure and it was Jay Rossi who
opened the scoring cleverly collecting a kick through to race away and
give his side a 6-0 lead. Playing into a strong wind Seaton worked their
way up the field and Lewis Crellin dummied his way through on last
tackle to score and with John Richardson adding the conversion it was
6-6. From the kick off Harry Kaufman stole the ball in a tackle and
raced away to regain the lead. Broughton then scored an identical try to
the first to go in at half time 16-6 up. With the wind behind them
Seaton applied early pressure and Callum Phillips brought them back into
the game selling the defence a dummy to score. Seaton continued to
attack Broughtons line but their defence stood firm and a break from
their own quarter saw Jay Rossi sprint away to score to give Broughton a
20-10 lead. Again Seaton bravely came back and once again Callum
Phillips broke the line to score, Richardson added the conversion and at
20-16 it was anybody's game. The last 10 minutes was about excellent
defence from both teams and in the dying seconds Broughton clinched the
game with a try out wide.
