This was our first game at home this season and with the visitors travelling a fair distance we needed to win it. The Game started with Larne kicking to us. After a good catch the visitors started with a good tackle. The forwards had been doing a lot of rucking and mauling work and you could see it in the form of Duncan Ross and Elliot Evans who both used brilliant technique.
The backs were very organised starting with ball rifled through the hands of our scrum half Chris Heenan. The first break came with a run down the wing followed by brilliant support from Steven Martin who got his first try of the season. Then came Ross Carlisle with his kicking tee. It was a windy day but Ross' reliable boot got us up to 7 points.
After the restart we again saw brilliant hands from the backline and got so close to their tryline but unfortunately dropped the ball. We were so close the forwards won the scrum and good strength from James Martin got us up to 12 before another kick from Ross brought us up to 14.
Following this, the Larne squad bombarded us and got a penalty. Their number 8 shouted at us but with a massive hit from our tight head prop Stuart Cochrane really put him in his place.
With a few army balls the forwards punched a hole in their backline and Paddy Preston made the most of the opportunity and scored. Again another good run James martin got us another 5 points getting us to a total of 24.
With the familiar ready, ready press ringing in our ears from the opposition's restart we got the ball and moved it out to the two centres Jack Patterson and Rory Kerr. Rory used blistering speed to get away from the backline with ease and scored a superb try getting us to 31 with Ross missing the posts.
Half time came and with a few substitutions the game started. Rory and Jack again used their strength and really gave the opposition a run for their money. With an unbelievable step Jack used his pace and got his first try of the season. Rory missed the conversion but all was not lost as we were winning 36-0.
Again with our forwards using their dominance in the line outs and with good ball from the new scrum half, Thomas Forson, Matthew Davidson got the ball to Jack who again used his speed and step to get to the tryline. Rory converted getting us to 43 points.
Then when it looked like we were going to lose our clean sheet .the forwards, consisting of Callum Duncan, Chris Rauch and Mark Hanna bull dosed the opposition and stole the ball before it was moved to Jack again who snaked his way up the pitch to score. Rory Kerr added the icing on the cake.
At 50-0 With Mr Carson blew the whistle early because of our dominance. Mention should be given to Reuben Black, Jamie Parke, Jamie Gibson, Nathan Cairns and Ewan Martin giving their all for down high.
All thanks to the coaches for organising this event Mr Carson for Referring and Mr Irvine for Training and Mr Knox.
