Canterbury centre Pat Sykes scores two tries in 29-18 National League 2 South win over Kent rivals Westcombe Park
Comments |
Two tries in the space of four minutes by
centre Pat Sykes helped Canterbury to a 29-18 win in National
League 2 South and complete a season’s double over Kent rivals
Westcombe Park at Merton Lane on Saturday.
The city club trailed 15-10 at half-time but
Sykes (pictured) struck twice early in the second-half, first
getting a hand on Tom Best’s sliced drop goal attempt, and
then adding the second after good work by Gert De Kock
and Michael Melford.
Sykes set-up Canterbury’s first try for
Carlton Littlechild. Melford got the second and Best added the
fifth, five minutes from time to settle the contest and
secure a bonus point.
De Kock added two conversions in a team
display full of pace and power, the only downside being the loss of
lock Matt Lister taken to hospital with a serious leg injury.
Park had claimed an early
advantage with tries by Douglas Abbott and Graham Purdy and a
penalty by Lee
Audis.
