A Good Contested Game
On a typically wet Tonbridge pitch , after much rain, this game was played in reasonable conditions
.The TJ side were strong and competent and the Lions rose to the occasion and matched the Home side's play .
The forwards contest was even, but despite some good tackling by the Lions, the strong and fast TJ backs created good attacks, broke some weak tackles and scored two tries , neither of which was converted . The Lions scored a penalty by Halpin .
After some changes at half-time, the Lions stared to attack better and despite another try to TJs through strong running on the right, the Lions made ground .A good scrummage near the TJ line resulted in a very good try by the forwards, which was converted by Halpin .
The Lions attack continued and Gavin Elsam ran well through the TJ defence to score a very good try, which was again converted .
A good, well-contested game between two competent sides .
