Match report.

Twickenham 25- Letchworth 3.

Within four minutes of the kick of Letchworth fumbled a ball in their 22 which gave Phil Astbury the chance to scoop it up and sprint 30yards to score a try under the post, which he converted. Letchworth, a club that has given Ts problems in the past, never really got into the game and conceded too many penalties due to being under tremendous pressure from the mobile Twickenham pack who were working in unison and countering the bigger physical presence of the Letchworth forwards.

After another 3 penalty taken by the home side, a good take from a lineout and a 10 meter drive by the forwards, Ts crossed the Letchworth line again with Charlie I’anson emerging with the ball as the scorer. Score at half time 15-0.

Letchworth tried to rally themselves after the interval and forced a penalty from Twickenham for lying on the ball and scored their first and only points of the match.

Another Astbury penalty increased the margin further to be followed by fine line out take and drive , this time the ball being spun out by Andy Rogers to Russell Whittam to score his fifth try of the season which was converted by James Clark.

This was another good performance but Twickenham, who due to changes in the fixture list have so far played all their games at home. Next week’s away game against Norwich will be a sterner test, and will give a good indication of what their potential really is.
