Erith show good and steady progress.

Just over the half way line into opposition territory, the scrum half goes a quick snipping run. He gets caught, but strongly powers out of the the grip and side steps a few more players with Ryan running a good support on the captain's right. The opposition's last defender is not sure who to go for, in his moment of hesitation, Bradley Powell hits the gap hard and scores scores Erith's first try.

Erith continues the same way they started the game, very strongly, very efficiently securing the ball at rucks and giving a strong base for the scrum half (captain) to play from.

This laid down a strong and steady platform from which the backs took great advantage of, making many meters and getting Erith close to the try line. At which point the forwards took over again and from quick ball from the rucks by the scrum half to forwards running on to the ball at pace, Mat scores Erith's second try.

Erith's hard work at training is starting to pay off, and starting work better together as a team.

Ten minutes later the backs have a good passage of play and through simple passing, but quick, the backs break through the oppositions defence and Josh touches down for Erith's third try.

Unfortunately the more experienced opposition players change their teams game plan and they start to play for territory with good placed kicks and start to put Erith under pressure. Bill Cooper goes in for a big hit but at the same time the other player starts to slip and Bill hits him high. If not for the slip it would've been a red card. Bill sits out for ten minutes.
Erith now one man down in the forwards, the opposition kick for a lineout and go for a mall and get their try. Through aother two lineouts get another two tries and from one trick lineout move get their fourth try.

End result, 18 - 25 to the opposition.
