AN enthralling game of rugby was won by the visitors (Sedgley Tigers) in the last quarter when they scored four tries to come from 26-19 down, ensuring a bonus point win against Wharfedale.

Scott Barrow, Sedgley Head coach, reflected on this after the match and said: “We were out to win it, but Wharfedale kept coming back at us. Our bench was very strong and allowed us to pull away at the end”.

There was a lot of entertaining rugby played by both sides. Dale opened the scoring after a break by Oliver Cicognini who offloaded for Elliot to score.

Jack Blakeney-Edwards added the extras from wide left.

Park opened their account with a break from the scrum for an unconverted try by Tom Ailes.

A break down the right led to Rhys Henderson touching down and Stephen Collins added the two points.

The second half saw a flurry of tries.

First over the line was Josh Burridge for Wharfedale after a break by Stockton; Matthew Gallagher for Park and then Ryan Hamilton for Dale.

All Dale's tries were converted, to edge themselves in front 21-19.

Dale then extended the lead with good hands, putting Hamilton over for an unconverted try.

Then the visitors opened up and tries from Gallagher, Henderson, Andrew Riley and Kian Stewart, two of which were converted, to seal the victory.

After the contest, Wharfedale Head Coach, Jon Feeley, said: "We were excellent for 60 minutes with occasional lapses of concentration – our attacking play was outstanding but it is an 80 minute game.”

Wharfedale travel to Bournville on Saturday.
