Canterbury RFC pushed all the way in National 3 London & South East win against Westcliff
Comments |
Canterbury extended their winning run at the top of
National 3 London & South East to 18 matches with a 33-19
success over Westcliff on Saturday.
However, coach Andy Pratt (pictured)
saw his side work hard for their latest victory after
they turned round at the break drawing 14-14 against a Westcliff
side who were never overawed despite their lowly league
position.
Canterbury scored two tries in the
first half through Ricky Mackintosh and Wim Barrs, and three more
followed after the break from Barrs, Peter Kelly and Tom Best, the
latter the pick of the bunch after a superb run from halfway.
Kelly was yellow carded soon after his
try and Canterbury also had Mark Livesey and Mark Lister on the sin
binned in the closing stages, which meant they had to negotiate a
final hectic seven minutes with 13 men.
Gravesend
suffered their fourth successive defeat in N3 L&SE, going down
35-26 at second-placed Ampthill.
Gs had the Bedfordshire side worried
in the first half after Jon Clement scored a try, converted by Dave
Dorton, who went on to add four penalties.
Amphill, however, stepped up a gear
after the break and Paul Boston completed a hat-trick of tries to
give the home side victory, despite Sox Stevens scoring Gs’ second
try, again converted by Dorton.
