Match Report – Canterbury 5th vs Folkstone 3rds
CANTERBURY 5th 61pts. FOLKSTONE 3rds. 0pts
The city side never looked in any real danger in their 3rd league match of the season. Folkestone battled well in the first half, their forwards restricting the amount of quality ball Canterbury could scavenge, and even managed to cross the city line at one point only to have the try disallowed. This however was not enough, first Jerome Weigh opened the account for the city, followed by Toby Allen and Joe Rumsey touching down after some penetrating midfield breaks, and with Kevin Stevens adding all the conversions gave Canterbury a comfortable lead at halftime.
The second half saw the city forwards begin to take control producing some quick ball that was spread wide producing holes in the Folkstone defence with ruthless efficiency. The tries soon began to mount with Richard Collins and Will Rayner both breaking through scoring with two tries each. This was followed by Rob Paul and James Limmer getting on the score sheet, and Jacob Coffin adding three out of four conversions sealed the match for the home side.
