29/03 Under 13A 0 Windsor 66
March 30, 2009
An under strength Newbury side were given a harsh lesson by table topping Windsor, who dominated this match from the start. It took only a few minutes for the visiting winger to take advantage of an overlap to run in and touch down by the posts, simplifying the conversion. A few minutes later and a series of missed tackles failed to stop the visitors number eight from crashing over the try line to extend their lead, which was again converted. Unfortunately more missed Newbury tackles and some fine surging runs from Windsor resulted in two more converted tries for the visitors, before they closed the half with a dive over from a ruck in the right corner for a 0-33 lead. Newbury’s sole scoring opportunity came from freeing winger Freddie Fane, who was bundled into touch a few metres short of scoring.
Newbury were more competitive early in the second half but the visitors soon began to dominate the forwards battle again and were far quicker to the loose ball. This dominance allowed them to attack Newbury from all areas of the pitch and resulted in a further five tries, four of which were converted. Newbury did manage a charge down close to the Windsor line, but their opponent quickly managed the danger to leave the home team scoreless.
