Parker, Bath, Roberts, Wigzell, Luke and Short. Not the name of the world’s largest firm of solicitors but the scores of the 9 (nine) Worthing College tries on Wednesday 10.11.10. Worthing went to Chichester High expecting a physical tough encounter from beginning to end. As it was Worthing started very well and made every effort to win the game early on.
A strong display of running by forwards and backs alike made for good viewing. Worthing played expansive and direct rugby in equal measure leading to the 3 tries from Parker and 2 from Bath. The first of which was the arguably the best one of day coming from a turnover in the Worthing 22, strong running from Short, Peake and good interplay between the lose forwards lead to a 90m score Bath trotting in under the horns for the 7pointer.
Stand out performances came from the robust running of Luke, Short, Wigzell, Spring, Peake, Laszlo and later Mitchell. Bringing some finesse to proceedings Roberts danced like a strictly veteran with Patrick taking care of the lineout business. Parker and Keith got the backs moving quickly when given the opportunity by the rampaging forwards. Pumfrey played hurt (man points) and Fastnedge was a constant threat at outside centre. Green and Bath both demanded attention from the defence as did P White when he came on playing out of position. N White was the glue at the back organising and competently clearing up all assignments that came his way.
A very pleasing win against one of our local rivals and hopefully this is a point from which to propel ourselves forwards and into the darker months of the season.
More discipline will be needed if we are to challenge the better sides regionally and nationally, but that is for Monday.
Bring your heart and lungs boys……..
