ALL GOLDS 38-10 OXFORD<br />
SUNDAY 25 JUNE <strong>2017</strong><br />
PRINCE OF WALES STADIUM<br />
After their big win against Hemel Stags, the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> approached their game with Oxford<br />
with confidence but after an hour’s slightly<br />
uninspiring play, the sides were locked at 10-10.<br />
Not for the first time Steve Parry inspired his<br />
side with a vital contribution. Just minutes after<br />
Harvey Burnett had levelled the scores, his flat<br />
pass sent Harrison Elliott crashing over under<br />
the posts and from then on, the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were<br />
in charge.<br />
Mo Agoro had first given the home side the<br />
lead in the second minute scoring from a<br />
Davies cross-kick but former <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> Marcus<br />
Brooker and Casey Canterbury had crossed<br />
for undonverted tries to edge the visitors in<br />
front.<br />
Lewis Reece had marked his 50th <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
game with a spell in the sin-bin but Oxford<br />
failed to take advantage and on his return,<br />
the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> captain burrowed over for a try,<br />
Courtney Davies goalling for a 10-8 lead at the<br />
break.<br />
Once Elliott’s score had broken Oxford’s<br />
resistance, the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> made hay against a<br />
tiring side that had used their bench and had<br />
only 14 or 15 fit men available. Parry scored<br />
again before Chris Barlow trotted over in the<br />
corner and James Walter marked his 50th <strong>All</strong><br />
<strong>Golds</strong> appearance with a touchdown.<br />
Billy Brickhill finished the scoring with a superb<br />
team try created by powerful forward surges<br />
and slick hands.<br />
It was all a bit reminiscent of the Keighley<br />
game way back at the start of the season and<br />
another all-too-rare glimpse of what the team<br />
is capable of.<br />
