Due to end of term fixture congestion kick off was set for 1100. A heavy overnight frost required a pitch inspection at 1130 to confirm that play was possible.
Worthing dominated the opening 10 minutes with Will Patrick leading the side for the first time. Chris Hubbard and Dan Hills also started brightly at half back. The opening Tempo from Worthing was fantastic and a significant improvement on the dark times of last week! An early score was achieved after a fine multi phase build up.
However at the re-start Worthing failed to retain their level of accuracy and gifted the Weald field position for the first time in the match. The Weald side put Worthing under enormous pressure and would maintain this level for the remainder of the game.
Worthing began to lose their composure and started to make a number of individual mistakes and also to concede too many penalties to establish any quality field position. The remainder of the game was dominated by Worthing infringements and continued pressure from the Weald.
Worthing will reflect on a week that saw significant improvement in standards. Some quality rugby was put together and no member of the squad need be disappointed with their contribution. Stand out performances from Sam Cook, Charlie Laszlo, Chris Hubbard and Dan Hills.
We now look forward to a well earned break and the new year. Also well done to Ben and the IXV today a fine 35-8 victory against Richmond College in the BCS Elite league.
