Review: Felsted moved into the next round of the Daily Mail
Vase after a close run victory away to Robert Clack. Felsted started strongly
with the forwards wining good clean ball going forward allowing the backs to
show their skills and pace. In the first 20 minutes Felsted dominated resulting
in two tries by Stefan Warner and others by Alex Jackson and Matthew Lumb. The
centres Alex Gilham and Matt Lumb were showing how dangerous as a pair they
were, backed up by clever work by the half backs Jiffy Lennon and George
Hitcock. With the pace of Stefan Warner and Alex Jackson all looked good. Two
first up tackles were missed which allowed Robert Clack into the game allowing
them to score break away tries. Ashleigh Cox went over in the corner just
before half time to make the score 29-14.
The second half was a different game with desperate defence
by Felsted restricting the opposition to just 2 tries. Felsted created 2
chances but did not take them. With greater pressure applied on the few times
Felsted had the ball the backs had no space to show their superiority. Robert
Clack’s last try was scored just before the whistle and then followed a tense 5
minutes! With Felsted holding out, due to applying great pressure and tackling.
Alex Gilham was outstanding in this leading the way.
Man of the Match: Alex Gilham
