To continue the winning streak, Wetherby had to beat their next opponents, Bramley phoenix. Bramley are sitting mid table and have had very tight games in their losing games, so Wetherby knew they would need to turn up and play.
The game commenced at the fortress which is grange park. The visitors chose to kick and had the wind in their favour in the first half. From the kick a mistake by Wetherby gave Bramley the possession deep in Wetherby’s half. They used their forwards to march the ball to within 5 metres, but the almighty forwards of Wetherby kept them from going over the white line. With Bramley going no where so thought they would try their chances out wide by using their back’s. Jack Kaye had thought otherwise, ‘and out of no where’ he intercepted the ball and put his foot down. When this happens it only means one thing, try time! Alex Dus could not convert. 5-0
The Visitors had all the possession in the first 10 minutes so were unlucky to be points down. Wetherby could now have some possession when the game restarted and straight away with breaks coming they made some solid ground. Steve Hoather making the best of the breaks and getting inches from the try line. A scrum some how came of this (cant remember why), and the dominant home team’s scrum pushed. From this a pick from the back of the scrum by Will Dutton and when he drew in the defenders a simple pass to the lioness Harry Kaye put Wetherby in for their second try. 12-0
The visitors didn’t let their heads go down and came back strong as they did from kick off and when
The ball came loose close to Wetherby’s try line, a quick pick up and sprint gave Bramley their first points of the game. 12-7
Wetherby kept a lot of possession of the ball and made decent ground, and a quick pass to the left wing put Jack Kaye down the touch line. He was tackled just short by the impressive Bramley full back but the ball got thrown back into field before entering touch. Where most had switched off James Greenwood kept up with play, gathered the ball up and went over for the third try. 17-7
With little time left in the first half the scores looked to have been set for the first half. However a break from Andrew Trotman came about and a simple 2 on 1 appeared to which he put the top try scorer Jack Kaye in for his second. 24-7
Half time 24-7
The second half went on the way after a quick team talk where all believed we could perform better, and make more out of our chances.
The first 15 minutes of the second half was scoreless and then both teams decided to make some changes. Bramley were the first team to get on the score board and with an overlap scored out wide. Only minutes later a very similar bit of play put them in again and made the score a tight 24-17.
Wetherby had to switch on and unfortunately for Bramley they did and with a controversial flat pass from Alex Dus he set the young star Will Jefferson away making the scores 31-17.
With 5 minutes left to play Myles Oates hit a gap and him and his curly locks made it to the try line opening the score gap 38-17
Final score 38-17
