Saturday 12th July 2008 - Admirals 78 - 0 Thetford Titans By Steve Kiely
Carl Jones, Thetford’s coach said after the game,
“We came to southeast
“But we believed, if we got it right we could cause an
upset. What we didn’t expect was for the Admirals to be on top of their
game. They were awesome, both attack and defence and just took us apart. Jason
(Head Coach – Admirals) has created a team that works for each other, he
should be very please with the way they performed today”.
The Admirals dominance was evident from the initial
whistles, receiving the ball from the kick off they were in the Titans half
after just two tackles. The Titans defence held off the initial onslaught but
their defence finally gave way after five minutes when Jim Spark broke three
tackles to open the home sides account.
The remainder of the first half saw the Admirals continue to
break the visitor’s defence, with tries from Craig Wooldridge, Dane
Wilson, Ed Easter and Matt Whitmore supported by the boot of Paul Jackson the
Admirals went in at half time leading 30-0.
In the second half the Admirals step up the intensity of
their game and the Titans defence had no answer to the continued onslaught.
Tries from Chris Geary, Chris Jones, Craig Wooldridge,
Victor Okpevba, Anthony Johnson and a hat trick from Guy Adlam, his first for
the club, all converted by Paul Jackson saw the Admirals comfortably home 78 -
0.
Coach Henley commented, “Today we showed the
capabilities and depth of our squad. I rested five first team players to give
others who have been knocking on the door all season the opportunity to show me
they have what it takes to compete at this level. They didn’t disappoint
me”.
“We have been working hard in training to get the
basics right and today’s result confirmed what I have been telling the
players all season, if
you’re prepared to put in the
effort the rest will follow as a matter of course. It was a tremendous
performance all round.”

The Rugby League Conference (RLC) (also known as the Co-operative
Rugby League Conference as a result of sponsorship from the Co-operative Group),
is a series of regionally based divisions of amateur rugby
league teams spread throughout The RLC was founded as the 10 team Southern Conference
League in 1997, with teams from the southern midlands and the south east, but
has subsequently, rebranded and expanded both geographically and numberswise
to include around 90 teams stretched across almost the whole of Great Britain
from Lossiemouth in northern Scotland down to Plymouth. The aim of the RLC was initially to provide regular
fixtures for new clubs based outside the 'heartland' of rugby league,
although as the playing standards have raised it now also accepts teams from
the 'heartlands'. The hope is that at least some of these clubs will
eventually progress to become semi-professional clubs that could one day join
the 'traditional' clubs in the national leagues to
date only London Skolars
have done so. Confusingly, the top (winter) league administered by BARLA is also titled conference:
the National
Conference League. Although many of the clubs are affiliated to BARLA,
the RLC is run, not by them, but by the Rugby Football League. |
