Winscombe come out on top in feast of running rugby

Gordano travelled to Winscombe for the first time, and started poorly with lack of concentration leading to a Winscombe player picking up from a tapped line out on Gordano's 22 and running past six attempted tackles to score in the corner for an unconverted try after 3 minutes.Sustained pressure from Winscombe led to a quick penalty and a strong running Winscombe player again made it past several attempted tackles to make it 10-0 after 13 minutes. Gordano started to move the ball through the hands more and an excellent move from a scrum in their own half led to the ball moving along the back line to Aaron Southey who drew his man and passed to Isaac Barr who used his pace to beat the defence to the left corner for try well converted by Macie King 10-7. In he last play before half time Hooker Ed Magromallis took a scrum against the head and scrum half James Hawkins burrowed under three defenders allowing Gordano to lead 10-12 at the break.

Both sides were trying to play running rugby but the next try came from great awareness by the Winscombe flanker who spotted a ball come out the side of a scrum 10m out from the Gordano line and went over for a converted try to the right of the posts 17-12. After twenty minutes a team try from Winscombe with forward and backs all touching the ball led to a player coming from deep at a breakdown to go in on the right after 20 minutes to make it 22-10. Gordano had chances to score but committed Winscombe defence kept them out.

Another game where Gordano gave the opposition a lead and came back strongly but ultimately lost. When the ball is passed to space, Gordano continue to look dangerous, and individually some big tackles were made, but need to work more on defensive organisation and line speed against teams as good as Winscombe.
