Gordano wins against Dursley/Cleve (Away)

Gordano V Dursley/Cleve Barbarians Sunday 3rd March 2013 (Away)

Sharks were relaxed yet focussed in their game against a combined Dursley/Cleve non-cup side at Dursley. It was soon obvious that the squad had brushed off the performance of the preceding week, and started the game with some slick passing and strong running. Excellent covering tackle from the Barbarians thwarted some well-made chances from Sharks, most notably from Macauley Chesson, Tom Stirzaker and Sam Merrick. Eventually the speed of passing and running told with space created for Jordan Shaddick, Huw Evans and Jacob Evans to cross the line.

The Barbarians added some weight to their side in the second half and manufactured a well-deserved try under the posts.

Again Tom Stirzaker and Matt Wilkinson came very close to scoring. From their efforts and a 10 metre driving maul which saw Pete Atherton release the ball to the backs, Ben Critchley was able to chase up his own deft kick to touch down.

The best move was left to last, with excellent line-out from Sam Kessler, which was quickly tapped to Shaddick. Ben Critchley at 10 ran onto the pass, to release to the accelerating George Briggs who used a combination of power, pace and side-stepping to run the 70 metres to score.

A very good performance from the squad which reflects the effort and commitment shown throughout the season.

Final Score: Dursley/Cleve 7 – Gordano 31
