Gravesend unable to bridge class gap as National 3 London & South East leaders Bishop's Stortford enjoy comfortable win
National 3 London & South East League leaders Bishop’s
Stortford overwhelmed struggling Gravesend with five first-half
tries on their way to a 48-25 win.
The Gs were level at 3-3 before James Rae, Jono Child, John
Stocker and Hamish Irving all touched down for the home side.
Rae doubled his tally to put Stortford 34-3 ahead before Ziggy
Stevens went over for Gravesend’s first try on the stroke of
half-time.
Jamie Forsyth scored for the Gs after the restart and David
McMurtrie added the extras but a Wayne Childs interception try kept
Stortford well clear.
A second Stevens try and one for Dave Riley helped close the gap
but Stortford had the last word when Rae completed his
hat-trick.
The defeat leaves Gravesend two points above the relegation
zone.
