Mighty fine rugby proceeded as Rochford excelled in their defending. Fen put his sheen on the game by entirely throwing himself into his defending and Kyle, Speedy and Sam held their line well which freed up Oliver and allowed him to get his hat-trick.
More cracking tags were made from Luke and Sam as Roch squared up to Barking and let them know who the commanders were. A stylish pass from Liam set-up George who flew one home and made it 5 (you can rely on George to score the cool tries!)and the half ended 5-3 Roch!
More grand champagne rugby streamed from Rochford as Brad, Sam and Joe nearly scored! By now Barking were outclassed and it was only a matter of time before Rochford scored again. Oliver unleashed two more tries and the game ended.
Again Rochford displayed serious skill when defending, preventing Barking from scoring. Well they did get one back… Final score Barking 4 - Rochford 7
Considering Colchester did not turn-up and the fact we loaned Barking two of our players (Jake and Sparky), it was an enjoyable day and gave our mighty team of All-stars something to think about and a taste of what's to come.
As always, thanks to all who came to support the All-stars!
Not long now! With only 4 weeks to go until the Essex cup; it’s looking good boys! Just like to add the Essex cup will give opportunities to shine! So watch out all you try-scorers as Brad, Sam, Joe and Luke all have the eyes of a tiger and are eager to score!
Special thanks to Gary, Peter and Russell!
