DMP 0 Sedge 0

An excellent game so far, with two excellent running rugby teams giving there all. The first 20 minutes it was all DMP with some sublime  excellent running rugby. Sedge had to withstand a torrid opening 5 minutes and things got worse with a well worked try. More pressure followed as Sedge struggled on the re-starts missing tackles from some great direct rugby from the home side. 

Sedges defence kept it out put in one phase it was deemed illegal and a penalty for DMP  and YC for a Sedge player changed the dynamic of the game. 

Down to 14 Sedge started to run the ball and it was during this phase of play where Sedge were in the dominance. Pressure followed,  pressure on the DMP line and it resulted in a yellow card for the home player. Sedge soon took advantage with a penalty and two tries with one converted.

As the game neared the 40 minute mark, DMP were taking game back to Sedge camping in the 22 until Sedge stopped the momentum and the half time whistle followed. 

This is anyone’s game as it stands but what a good advert for National One  Rugby. Let’s hope the second half stays the same.

All the best
