1st XV v Wymondham


Result: Won 36-15
Tries: Hunter-J, Singleton, Latham, Chaplin, Polkinghorne
Cons: Malins W

This was again a game that showed the confidence of the XV. They will be slightly annoyed that they didn’t finish the job off more ruthlessly when 36-0 up and 20 minutes to play, but a combination of taking the foot of the gas, playing a big powerful XV, making a few substitutions and coping a few odd decisions, the XV lost momentum. However, the sparkling performance of the first half will live long in the memory. The ground was heavy, but from the moment William Malins miskicked a chip and gathered it to send Hunter-J in the corner to Polknghorne’s wonder run from kick off to cut through the defence and outpace the full back to the try line the crowd witness some serious tries. The pacey Singleton given space is dangerous and he proved that with excellent finishes. The growing confidence and performances of Latham in the middle of the park has been a big factor in the last 7 game unbeaten run and he continued again tackling hard and running with power and pace. Wymondham found there feet in the last quarter, but the game was gone long before.
