A great team performance saw off a physically strong Dover side

Today, we were missing Zac and Harry B (sickness), Nathan, Harry G and Jo B (injured), but Harry 3(Harry C) made his debut.....and a fine one it was too!

The Dover team looked big and strong on their arrival and we felt like their pack may put a lot of pressure on our physically smaller, but well disciplined forwards. In the event, our forwards more than held their own, winning all their own scrums and a good few against the head. Every player had a good game and particularly given many were playing in unfamiliar positions today. Both Jacobs made some fine runs and put in loads of grunt work along with Scott, Ben M, Sam, Connor and Ben D, who started as a flanker for the 1st time. Josh C had a great game as hooker, as did Stan as scrum half. The backs were fluid as ever, with some lovely handling and well timed offloads. Welcome also to Harry C, who made a fine debut and scored in the process. Espen and Luke made many strong tackles and Luke also managed to score his 1st try for the Gs. Tye, Ben C and Josh S linked very well together, creating and scoring a good few tries between them. Coady and Stan B also kept the Gs momentum going when they came on. To Dover's credit, they could have buckled after the 1st half, but never dropped their heads and kept trying to the end. We wish them well.

Nice work lads. Come on you Gs!
