Dings Crusaders 18 (Tries: Weaver (19), Jones (73), Edwards (79). Pen: Griffiths (22).     

North Walsham 3 (Pen: Young (4)     

Report courtesy of Richard Grant (Dings).

Despite having to wait until the final 10 minute to pull away with two tries Dings won quite comfortably with North Walsham never looking like adding to an early penalty.

Dings got on the wrong side of referee Tim Miller, who had a very poor match, from the opening whistle and conceded four penalties in as many minutes with Walsham stand off Iain Young kicking the last one for a 3-0 leads to the visitors on 4 minutes.

Dings took the lead on 19 minutes with try from full back Dean Weaver, the pack got on top and after several drives on the try line the ball was eventually moved along the back line for Weaver to dive over in the corner.

It was now Walsham’s turn to upset the ref as they gave away a succession of penalties, Dings elected to drive the ball into the corner for lineout drives but after being repelled on several occasions eventually they had to settle for a Gareth Griffiths penalty to extend their lead to 8-3.

Five minutes later Dings were reduced to 14 men when flanker Neil Holder was sent to the bin for persistent offences by whistle happy ref Tim Miller. Dings were forced to defend for the remainder of the half but despite winning plenty of ball North Walsham failed to create any meaningful scoring chances.

The opening 20 minutes of the second half was around the halfway line and neither side were able to get any continuity with play littered with unforced errors from both sides. Dings came nearest to scoring in this period with No8 James Phillips twice getting hauled down within a metre of the try line.

The final quarter belonged to Dings with two unanswered tries and Dings in the end unlucky not to have secured a 4 try bonus point.

The first went to replacement wing Ricky Jones who touched down after a good drive by the pack and quick hands from centres Ashley Maggs and Chris Wright-Hider. The final score came on 78 minutes when scrum half Waylon Gasson broke down the blind side from a maul to feed Sylvan Edwards who burst through two defenders to score in the corner.

A good win for Dings who will be hoping this kick starts a good end to the season to banish any relegation worries.

Bridgwater & Albion 18 (Tries: Edwards (55), Hancock (66). Con: Milroy. Pens: Milroy 2 (14, 20).      

Lydney 3 (Pen: Westall (34)     

LYDNEY'S promotion challenge suffered a hug blow with this defeat at College Way leaving the Severnsiders eight points behind second placed Westcombe Park and another five behind leaders Southend. Bridgwater's victory was achieved despite three players spending time in the sin-bin.

Bridgwater's Press Officer Tony Pomeroy, also a qualified referee, was pressed in to action with the flag rather than the pen for the final 15 minutes when referee Chris Sealey pulled a hamstring and senior touch judge Lloyd Jackson took over the whistle.

Centre Tito Elisara was yellow carded midway through the first half for a high tackle but the home side still managed to go in to the interval 6-3 ahead through two penalties from full back Marshall Milroy with his Lydney counterpart Adam Westall scoring the visitors only points of the game with a penalty five minutes before the break.

The second half began in a haze as a pitch-side barbecue briefly blazed out of control.  Bridgwater should have scored when a great move involving Milroy and centre Andy Hancock was stopped just short. Westall should have levelled the score after 10 mins, when prop Wayne Stiling was lectured by the referee, but his 35m penalty sailed wide.

Bridgwater increased their lead minutes late following as a pass was intercept on the half way by Jon Edwards. The right wing raced away to score under the posts with Milroy adding the extras. Five minutes later tighthead prop was carded for a professional foul.
