Both sides looked able to score when in the opponents half and ON’s took the lead again with a converted try. Following another line out Scouts worked a try to lead again. Scouts forwards then put their counterparts under a lot of pressure at scrums and mauls which gave Scouts the opportunity to run in two more first half tries. With a huge penalty count against them in the second half Scouts allowed the visitors back into the game. With a 4 point lead Scouts spoilt ON’s ball at an attacking scrum and ran the length of the pitch to score. Tries came from: Jordan Dolman, Matthew Hakes (2), Phil Harrison and Sam Kilbride. Sam French added four conversions. .Old Scouts 41 points Daventry 32 points In a high scoring game both sides scored a try in the opening minutes before the game settled down. In the second quarter Scouts added two more tries to a Daventry penalty to give the home side an eleven point lead at the break. In a very busy second half Daventry pulled a try back but Scouts crossed again to restore the lead. In a hectic five minutes the visitors scored two quick tries to take the lead for the second time but Scouts again fought back and scored to regain the lead. This was extended again with a try from a driving maul, only for Daventry to pull back to four points. With only a couple of minutes left on the clock Scouts scored the twelfth and final try of the game. Scouts tries came from: Calum Bains, Matt Brown, Josh Cheang, Emilio Giron-Walsh, Sam French, James Cross and Carl Banning. Cameron McNeil added two conversions and Sam French 1. Olney 5 points Northampton Old Scouts 26 points Scouts were strong from the start, winning a majority of the line outs and pushed Olney well in the scrums to keep them on the back foot. Olney did have their moments, making some line breaks, but Scouts always had a man to cover and stop any breakaway scores. The forwards created two first half tries, the first when Elliot Taite took the ball from the back of a strong maul and found space around the fringes to dart over and the second when another maul drove over and Jack Hunt got up with the ball. The backs scored two more after the break. One from a tap penalty that went left to winger Alex Stephens, and soon after the restart the ball made its way right to Calum Bains who found a way through the defenders to touch down. Sam French added three conversions in difficult conditions. |
