Yatton RFC

26^th November 2005

Yatton 3^rd’s 22 Old Reds 3^rd’s 15

An unfortunate injury to Yatton prop Martin Dixon in the first few minutes necessitated uncontested scrums which was to the detriment of the strong Old Reds pack, but they were the first to score in a well taken try by their quick running centre.

Yatton came straight back into the game with a try from Colt Ollie Noble which was converted by an excellent kick from Stef Vaughan.

From forward pressure in loose play Chris Hook won the ball and it came back to Stef Vaughan who deftly dropped a goal to put Yatton further ahead, to some extent against the run of play. Vaughan followed that just before the half break with a penalty.

It was the Old Reds centre who again came thorough for a well taken try to keep them well in the game, but Vaughan’s boot again pushed Yatton ahead with another penalty.

Vaughan was in fine form with his kicking as from another ruck close to Red’s line, a long pass gave him time to drop another goal. Reds returned with a push over try and were still pushing strongly when Vaughan dropped yet another goal to give Yatton a hard earned win against a strong Reds XV.

Had it not been for the kicking form of Stef Vaughan and some determined last ditch defence Yatton would not have recorded this win
