Match report for Guisborough RFU 1st
1V 25th February 2006
Guisborough V Bramley Phoenix. ¼
final of the ‘Silver Trophy.
Guisborough won 20-8 in their away
fixture against Bramley Phoenix in the quarterfinal of the
Silver Trophy
After 15 minutes of Guisborough
pressure on the phoenix line, a line out at the 5 metre line
meant that Guisborough retained possession, and the pushover
try was rightly claimed by number 3 John Mann. The
conversion fell short.
Guisborough took the ball forward again
after regaining possession from the restart. A string of
passes from the backs, and a typical Motson side step,
allowed the forwards to take control. This time it was
number7 veteran Paul Towers, who claimed the try. The
conversion was successful by the full back Paul McClusky.
Bramley looked as if they were going to
score when the centre blocked the kick, but it sprung from
his arms on the try line and went dead.
Bramley had another opportunity when a
string of passes went to the wing. Paul Mclusky made the
try saving tackle at the line.
The ball was worked up to the midfield,
but Bramley regained possession.
A pass to the right wing sent number 11
Vanderveervelt on a 25-metre dart down the wing and across
to touch down under the posts.
This time it was Guisborough who
applied the pressure, and winger Kev Hamlin darted towards
the line only to be stopped by a high tackle, which led to a
sin bin for Bramleys number 7.
Guisborough were awarded a penalty in
front of the posts given for an offside offence and it was
successfully kicked by Full back Paul McCluskey.
Half Time Score Bramley Phoenix 5
Guisborough 15
The fiery start to the second half led
to the number 6 being sin binned leaving Phoenix playing
with 14 men again.
Bramleys Hooker and captain, Darren
Robbins, successfully kicked a 30-metre in front of the
posts given for a rucking offence.
It looked like another Guisborough try
when Towers passed to leggott, and the ball was taken to the
line and knocked on from the ruck that had formed.
A number 8 pick up by Matt Flint from
the back of the ensuing scrum meant another 5 points for
Guisborough.
Play continued to be hard fought with
the final score being:
Bramley phoenix 8 Guisborough 20
