17th April 2010 - Friendly (Touring Side):

North Petherton XV 57 v 26 East Peckham

Report by Cammy

A mixed Petherton XV hosted touring team East Peckham from Kent on a glorious afternoon for running rugby. A large crowd enjoyed the weather and saw an entertaining and expansive game as Petherton looked to get the ball wide at every opportunity.

Despite falling behind to an early try Petherton gained control of the game as their opponents began to tire. Wingers Jamie Adams and Lee Palmer were first on the scoresheet followed by Mike Taylor, Mike Stevens, Mark Sutherland-Earl, Simon Freeman and Lloyd Williams. Successful conversions were made by Stevens and Sutherland-Earl.

In the spirit of touring games Jamie Adams, Sam Williams and Ben Selleck all played for the opposition when injuries reduced their numbers.

Team: M.Burge, B.Selleck, R.Kearle, L.Williams, C.Clatworthy, Mark Stevens, G.Wolfe, R.Winter, C.Kirk, M.Sutherland-Earl, Mike Stevens, S.Pearn, L.Palmer, J.Adams, S.Freeman, M.Angel, S.Williams, M.Taylor, J.Jennings, S.Potter.
