Woolston Rovers claimed a point in a highly entertaining end-to-end National Conference League
Division Two clash at Clock Face Miners to keep alive their hopes of a top six finish.
Clock Face opened the scoring in the sixth minute when full back Luke Forber broke clear down
the left hand side and fed the ball to hooker Kenny Hughes who scored under the posts. Loose
forward Shaun Costello converted but then just after the midway point of the half Rovers scrum
half Aaron Barber made a break and he found stand off Ryan Brown whose inside pass put prop
forward Harry Files over for a try. Second row Craig Lawton added the conversion to level the
score.
Five minutes later Rovers took the lead when a nice ‘tip’ pass from loose forward Scott Whiteley
put substitute Josh Sudlow over under the posts. Lawton converted but Miners hit back when a
short kick off saw them regain possession and substitute Michael Carney went over on the left to
make the half time score 12-10 to Rovers.
Two minutes into the second half nice play by Rovers saw Brown and full back Theo Holt combine
to send centre Lewis Hoarty over on the right but eight minutes later Clock replied when second
row Jordan Eccleston crashed over on the left. Scrum half Lewis Geraghty added the conversion
to bring the scores level once again.
Shortly afterwards a kick from Miners stand off Jordy Cresser was pounced on by Forber who
scored under the posts. Geraghty converted and then Rovers were temporarily reduced to twelve
men when H Files was given a yellow card.
With three minutes remaining Rovers moved deep into the Clock Face half and H Files offloaded
superbly to hooker Adam Files and he scored under the posts. Lawton converted to make the final
score 22-22 as both sides finished the game with twelve men following the last minute sin binning
for Rovers Brown and Miners Hughes.
The Man of the Match was awarded to Rovers hooker Adam Files. He was very well supported by
prop forward Ryan Hickman and full back Theo Holt.
