Worthing College continued their fine run of results and prepared well for next week’s U18 Daily Mail Cup round 4 fixture away against Hurstpierpoint College. With significant changes to the starting XV from the pre half term squad the start places for next week were up for grabs.
Worthing dominated the collision and the tight exchanges however they showed a lack of accuracy at the breakdown committing a number of offensive penalties which restricted the attacking flow. The first half was punctuated by penalties as both teams came to terms with the referee. At half time the score was 12-6 to Worthing.
Despite the foul weather that would become the feature of the second half Worthing enjoyed great success in the wide channels with Ryan Ball, Chris Claire and Kane Bone each carrying well and a constant threat to the Collyers defence. Jack Roberts and Matt Sercombe continued their outstanding form in the back row and had fine games in both attack and defence. Both players showed great maturity in shifting the tactical focus to combat the conditions and were key to Worthing scoring four unanswered second half tries. The try of the match however was the fine solo effort from Ollie Harcus. For any tight head prop to score from 40m is impressive however any fine outside back would have been proud of the angle of run at the heart of the opposition defensive line.
Try scorers: Josh Mills x 2, Ollie Harcus x 2, Chris Double x 1 and Chris Claire x 1
Conversions: Dan Hills x 2 and Chris Double x 2
Man of the match: Ollie Harcus
