Old Gs 85 Footscray 5

You have those days in rugby where everything just clicks into place - the structure, the pattern, the energy, the skill levels. This was one of those days as Old Gs put in a fantastic performance to secure a dominant home win vs a gallant Footscray side.

13 tries from Danny Snaith x3, Grant Roe x2, Luke Thompson x2, Charlie Knight x2, Chris Johnson, Phil Costley, Chris Daniels and Dan Kirby secured the impressive win, with 10 conversions from Matt Holdstock - in front of a sizeable crowd that had enjoyed the fare of the first pre match lunch of the season.

Old Gs controlled the majority of the game, with 5 first half tries seeing them to a 31-0 half time lead. Despite the visitors coming out firing to score first in the second period - a further 8 impressive Old Gs tries, with backs and forward combining seamlessly gave them a well deserved victory that takes them up to 4th place in the Counties 4 Kent table.
