Storm 6 St Albans 60 Storm went down 60-6 to league leaders St. Albans in what was a game of two halves for the unfamiliar, yet industrious south London outfit.
After a promising start during which storm edged the opening exchanges, it was st Albans who crossed the whitewash first following a good flat ball from Adam Kal in the 8th minute.
Storm regathered themselves with strong running from imperious captain Mike Benson, however cents defensive line was well organised and held strong with the londoners unable to capitalise on well earnt field position on more than one occasion.
Upon regaining posesstion st Albans scored twice in quick sucession either side of the halfway mark after hitting good lines behind the ruck and exploiting some slack defensive work, leaving the score at 14-0.
Looking at going in at half time having drawn a blank, storm rallied. After a good drive from saner hasan and some probing from benson, the physical Adam hill drove over from close range. |

South London Storm's finals aspirations suffered a double blow as both grades suffered defeats that sent them tumbling out of the top 4 play off positions. Storm first team lost a thrilling match at Eastern Rhinos 22-30 despite scores from Billy Osborne, Andrew Vernon, Aaron Brown, David Wojceiechowicz and Pete Maddigan. Despite three early scores the visitors were never comfortable and a physical Rhinos team were able to finally grind them down with two tries in the last 8 minutes. Strong performances from Matt Smith, Matt Chapman and the outstanding Mike Benson hint at better days for a very young Storm squad who now face an up hill struggle to reach the finals series. Storm 'A' suffered a heavy 6-64 home defeat to Greenwich Admirals. the only try coming from the returning Dave Aylmer who was also man of the match. |
