Drybrook came to Yatton looking for their first win this season, fielding a
side hit with injury, they struggled against the Yatton side who found their
form after a disappointing start in the league. Yatton spent the first fifteen
minutes in the Drybrook half and were rewarded when Yatton forwards turned over
the Drybrook scrum resulting in a try by Phil Morgan. On the restart
strong forward play led by Matt Johnson gave quick ball to Dave
Keating kicking ahead and collected again by Phil Morgan giving him a
second try, converted by Dave Keating. The on form Dave Keating then made the
next try making the break and the pass to Mike Harris giving him his first of a
hat trick of tries. Although Yatton had most of the play in the first half
Drybrook rallied and looked stronger and as they began the second half and
scored after 4 minutes with a series good passes in the backs when Gregg
Tierman found the try line. However Yatton proved too strong and further tries
by Chris Harris, Nick Garnham and Alan Waters from the backs and Matt Johnson
the captain sealed Drybrook’s fate. The on form Dave Keating kicked all but two
conversions.
