Longlevens 7 Tewkesbury 60

Tewkesbury produced their best performance so far this season in the local encounter at Longlevens.

 

Right from the kick off Tewkesbury had the home team on the back foot with forwards Jack Taylor and Rob Howe driving up the field to set up Paul Baker for an early try.

 

Quick ball to Matt Stone from another solid Tewkesbury scrum gave them a further try to lead 0 – 10.

 

Tewkesbury continued to produce quick ball with a break from fly half Anthony Richards, passing inside to scrum half James Hartland feeding to wing Myles Whittle for a converted try.

 

Myles Whittle scored his second try of the game from a quick tap penalty taken by James Hartland, converted by Richards.

 

Longlevens fought back with a long kick forward fumbled by Tewkesbury and a miss pass going to the Longlevens wing to score a converted try taking the half time score to 7-24.

 

From the restart Tewkesbury kept Longlevens in their own half and with good line out ball on their five metre line and accurate passing across the field gave Myles Whittle the opportunity to score his third try of the game, converted by Richards. Richards soon followed up with a drop goal.

 

Tewkesbury continued to dominate throughout with another try from Baker. Matt Stone showed powerful attacking on the wing scoring three further tries giving him a tally of four in the game.

 

The final score was Longlevens 7 -60 Tewkesbury.

 

Tewkesbury hope to follow up with a strong performance against league leaders Old Bristolians at The Moats next Saturday, kick-off 2.30pm
