The match not only counted for the league, but was also a Lockie Cup quarter-final.It was the third time the teams had met this season in league or cup games and all have been close, but this was the closest.Sarries went 12-0 up with tries by Adam Corbett and Rikki Brandham, but Techs hit back and they took a 14-12 lead into the break thanks to two tries from winger Rob Keach, which were both converted by Billy Evans.Tries by Frazer Tatchell and Joe Stanniforth after the interval put Sarries 24-14 up but back came Techs again, with a try from Sam Courtney to make it a one score game.Alex Israel scored Sarries all-important fourth try to seal the win but Evans did kick a late penalty to secure Techs a deserved bonus point.“It was one of those games that could have gone either way,” said Tamar Saracens head coach Pete Lethbridge. “Techs played really well. It was a really good game and we just had enough to get over the line.”
Techs chairman Dave Evans said: “We played really well. We are playing well against the top sides but not so well against the sides near us in the table.“We were happy with the way we played but we have to get that winning mentality back.”
