Dynamite chemistry explosive!

A mixture of youth, first team, B team and C team players came together to demonstrate fast flowing attacking rugby at it's best in this good win against an improving Dartford Valley Vipers team in rugby Warwickshire.
Ruth Cubitt got the G'sss going with an early try in the left hand corner after a team move across the pitch with quick hands. Cubitt added two more tries throughout the game, finding space and evading tackles. Jack Linden (captaining the side) will be disappointed with his conversion percentage managing just two but his speed terrorised the opposition at all times with ball in hand, deserving his 7 tries. Tony Wyles and Nevil Hope orchestrated the middle of the pitch, both assisting in several tries and Wyles adding the final try of the game (watch his try on 'Videos' on this website). The referees down from Yorkshire named Max Owen man of the match after a superb display cutting through Vipers, often making the try scoring pass and getting a try himself.

However this was a fantastic team display that impressed the local crowd. Hope, Wyles and Cubitt were solid throughout, not giving away penalties and keeping possession. Owen and Linden added a bit of extra pace to produce a good all round team chemistry.
Vipers deserved two tries for persistence (Fred Nye and Christian Best scoring) and showed a fluid attack. they just need more consitency in defence for the whole match.
