Ashbourne Under-12s — 63 Derby B Under-12s — 0
ASHBOURNE ran riot last week with a nine-try feast of open running rugby which left the home supporters breathless.
Playing with confidence, the hosts made every effort to pass the ball out wide to Glover and Lees, the two flying wingers.
This positive open style of play soon gave just rewards when after three minutes Woods burst through the Derby defence spinning out of the tackle to score. The try was converted by Nash to make it 7-0.
From the restart Beard, solid at full-back, ran the ball into the Derby defence to set up for the Ashbourne forwards to secure possession, with Millward and Tynan rampant as usual.
After getting to just 10 metres from the try line, Ashbourne were sure to score but ill discipline at the breakdown gifted Derby a penalty which they kicked back into Ashbourne’s half, to gain the throw in at the ensuing lineout.
Good work from Bailey in the line, supported well by Hulme and Orton, gained possession for the next drive forward.
Glover popped up off his wing, collected the ball from Yates, and ran 30 metres, jinking left then right and finally going round the full-back to score the first of his two tries, converted by Nash.
Lees scored in the corner after quick handling from Bott and Wroe. Then four minutes later Lees scored his second try, both converted by Nash, making the score 21-0.
Ashbourne continued to dominate in every phase of play which provided Glover the opportunity to score his second try, which he did with ease to make the half-time score 35-0.
Ashbourne kicked off the second half, soon regaining possession, and after some good interplay between Lees and Beard, the latter scored a well-earned try, converted by Nash.
Minutes later after hard work again by the forwards, No. 8 Tynan scored a well-deserved try, converted by Nash, making the score now 49-0.
Good handling from the backs then saw Woods stretch his legs to run 20 metres again spinning out of tackles to step inside and score his second converted try.
The final try came after a good run by Nash who, held up five metres out was driven over the line to score, which rounded off a brilliant team performance to make the final score 63-0.
Man of the match went to Barney Glover for a very impressive all round performance.
