With a number of games being called off recently due to teams not being
able to get a full side, it was good of the Exiles to travel to Yarmouth
with only 12 players; at the end of the day we all want to play (or watch)
rugby and having leant them a number of players through the game it turned
out to be an enjoyable game to watch.
From the start, Broadland were dominant
and the first score came with a try after five minutes from a Broadland
scrum ten metres out on the left side of the park. From the base of the
scrum, a quick pass from Justin Millar to fly half Graham Clarke, to Mark
LaCock, to Stu Murray - who'd come up into the line - who beat his man
to score five metres from the posts. A missed conversion and it was 5
- 0 to the home side.
The second try followed ten minutes later
started by Number 8, Macintosh. He broke blind-side from the back of the
scrum, taking three players out he shipped the ball out to Murray on the
left who easily sucked two defenders in. Once they'd committed themselves,
a neat inside pass to Gav Jarnisch gave him an easy run in to score under
the posts. The conversion followed and the score was 12 - 0 and more to
come.
Further tries in the first-half for Durrant,
Millar and O'Connor, and the game stood at 31 - 0 until the Exiles intercepted
a pass and they scored beneath the Broadland posts.
That was all the scores for the away side
and the game turned around at 31 - 7. A further 8 tries followed in the
second-half to make the final score 79 - 7 with tries for: Elliot (3),
O'Connor (3), Murray (3), Millar, Durrant, Jarnisch and (with a piercing
run) Frog.
Again, thanks to the Exiles for coming down
when so many teams would otherwise have called off and thanks must also
go to Neil Blizzard, Elliot, Mark, Gav Jarnisch and Mark LaCock for agreeing
to put the Exiles jersey on at various times during the game otherwise
the game would probably not have been played anyway.
