Seaton 32
Broughton Red Rose 14
Seaton are through to the semi final of the league cup after a hard
fought victory over a game Broughton side. Seaton began the game well
and early pressure told as Callum Phillips put in a superb pass to put
Shane Ackerley through a gap to score. Broughton weathered the storm and
came back up to score a converted try to lead 6-4. Seaton regained the
lead when good hands saw Joe Quail split the defence to score. John
Richardson adding the conversion. Again Broughton came back and levelled
matters with an unconverted try. Joe Quail regained Seatons advantage
with a brave effort unfortunately breaking his wrist in the process.
Broughton scored on the stroke of half time to level matters at 14-14.
The opening exchanges of the second half were even with some brilliant
defence on show from both sides. Seaton began to gain decent field
position and after running it on the last tackle big Jordan Tinkler
crashed over the line to regain the advantage. Shane Ackerley then added
his second, brilliantly collecting a neat kick from Callum Phillips and
sprinting clear of the defence.. John Todd made an excellent break and
from the next play Richard Johnstone cleverly off loaded for the
supporting Grant Mounsey to score. Tinkler added the conversion. Adam
Hodgson completed the scoring with a well taken try out wide.
