FOSROC Super6 Round 6: Review

Sunday 12 September: Boroughmuir Bears v Southern Knights

It took 24 minutes for the first points of the afternoon to come but when the Bears were penalised for not rolling away Knight’s stand-off Jason Baggott slotted the ball between the uprights.

On the half-hour mark Knights No8 Iain Moody was shown a yellow card for a no-arms tackle and Bears hit back with a successful penalty kick at goal by Tom Pittman.

HALF-TIME: Boroughmuir Bears 3-3 Southern Knights

The first try of the game came only two minutes into the second-half. Knights worked their way up-field, No8 Iain Moody picked the ball up from the back of the breakdown and stretched his long arm over the try line, Baggott added the conversion.

Bears responded only two moments later; the ball worked its way wide to find winger Jordan Edmunds

From a line out drive approx. 10-metres out the Knights rolling maul got moving, the ever-consistent replacement hooker, Russell Anderson, was at the back of the maul to guide it forward and secure the ball down over the try line. Jason Baggott was on hand to add the extra two points on offer.

Ten minutes later Anderson produced a carbon copy of his earlier try, just this time on the other side of the pitch, Baggott once again adding the conversion.

With two minutes left to go Knights mounted one of their last attacking plays. Replacement full-back Joe Jenkins threw a one-handed offload to Sam Pecqueur who took off down the far side wing. He offloaded inside to replacement scrum-half Cameron Jones who kicked ahead just outside of the 22-metre line and grounded the ball himself to earn Knights the bonus-point win.

FULL-TIME: Boroughmuir Bears 8-29 Southern Knights
