Drybrook u15s vs Newent u15s – 18th October 2015

Newent 12pts – Drybrook 31pts

A tough Forest derby match played at Newents Watery Lane ground, saw Drybrook come out on top. The match was close until Newent lost their discipline and the referee red carded one of their players for foul play. In the last 20 minutes Drybrook took advantage and finally outscored Newent by five tries to two. The foundation of the game for Drybrook was their dominant scrum and their defence. Man of the match was Drybrooks Caleb Lloyd who scored three tries with his strong determined running.

The first half began with Newent spending a lot of time in Drybrooks half only to be thwarted by stout Drybrook defence. After ten minutes a big clearance kick from Rohan Parry ended with a lineout close to the Newent line. A knock one at the lineout gave Drybrook an attacking five metre scrum, from which No 8 Caleb Lloyd picked up and crashed over to score his first try. Rohan Parry converted. The remainder of the first half saw Newent once again exert a lot of pressure in Drybrooks half but to no avail.

Half time: Newent nil – Drybrook 7pts

Drybrook kicked off the second half and spent a couple of minutes in Newent territory. A fumble in the Newent back line gave Brad Priest the opportunity to hack the ball to the Newent line, follow up and score an unconverted try.

Following Newent indiscipline, the resulting penalty to Drybrook was taken quickly. The ball was fed to Caleb Lloyd who raced into space on the right hand side to score his second try in the corner. A few moments later Newent replied with a well worked try of their own – their big centre took advantage of poor tackling to run in from over fifty metres.

The last quarter of the match was played out with Drybrook heavily on top. Two more tries were scored by Caleb Lloyd, again picking up at the back of a scrum, and Brad Priest scored his second try outpacing his opposite number in the centre to score in the corner. Rohan Parry converted one.
