1st XV continue winning streak

Pinner & Grammarians continue winning streak

Saturday 31st January

P&G’s maintained their promotion bid with another highly focused performance  against G.W.R. at Ealing on Saturday.  The home side won the toss and chose to have the strong wind in their backs for the first half.  Consequently Pinner spent much of the first period in their own half. Heroic defence by the pack, with 20 year old prop Simon Whitcombe outstanding, prevent several certain tries. With 5 minutes to go to half-time No 8 Bernie Richter broke from deep in his own half. The ball was fed to Captain Reza Sibilant who took it on into the GWR 22.  After a couple more phases Pinner won a scrum on the GWR 5 metre line.  Richter again broke from the back to feed James Byrne who scored in the corner. The try was not converted but P&G’s had a 5 – 0 half-time lead.

Now with the wind behind them  Pinner dominated the second half pinning GWR in their own 22.  From a scrum the ball was quickly passed along the backs. Back row Reza Sibilant was again in support for a scissors movement with Russell Joynt before passing to centre Devon, playing his first match, to score in the corner. This time fly-half Mark Razzell converted from wide out.  The pack continued to dominate putting constant pressure on the GWR defence. The back row, lock Mike Turner and ‘man-of-the-match’ prop Simon Whitcombe were outstanding.  The final score of 12 – 0 puts P&G ’s only 2 point behind league leaders Hatfield who they meet in the final match of the season.

The general comments coming back to us are that everybody had a fabulous time — Aisling, Caroline and Jo worked extremely hard to ensure everything was set up and ready for the 4pm start. For the future we will require extra volunteers to help and therefore have decided we need to form a support group – If you’re willing to offer your assistance please talk to Caroline and Aisling ( found behind the bar on Sundays).
