Hertford stay on course at top of table

London & South East Premier

HERTFORD remain at the top of the table following a 33-25 win at home to Sidcup.

Michael Allen, Kyle Lemon, Ben Lloyd, Jack Mitchell and Torran McDoogle were the try scorers for the hosts with Sean Taylor slotting four conversions. James Poland, Stephen McNamara and Harrison Keeley dotted down for the visitors.

Guernsey in second spot kept up the pressure with a 39-8 win at Westcombe

Park. Luke Delderfield was the only try scorer for the hosts to add to an earlier penalty from Will Robson.

Tring maintained their charge as they took the honours 31-10 at home to

Barnes. Nick Stevens, Jonathon Morgan, Tom Newton, Jordan Davies and Gary Andrew were the try scorers with Newton landing three conversions. Robbie Rarty crossed for the visitors, converted by Charlie Wicks. The result opens up a five-point gap over fourth-place Barnes, although they do have a game in hand.

Dorking were 38-34 winners at home to Southend

Saxons. Matt Noble led the charge with two tries and four conversions, other tries came from James Arbury, Tom Hunt, Jonny Ellis and Mike Hathbury.

The two bonus points could come in very useful for Southend as they look increasingly likely to be in a relegation battle.

Tunbridge Wells took the bonus point beating

Westcliff 24-7. Matt Spicer crossed for two with Mike Doherty and Hayden Pengelly in for one each, Frank Reynolds added two conversions.

Joe Vandermolem went in for the visitors, converted by Jack Jones. Bottom of the table Towcestrians might have hoped for some movement in the table after beating

Shelford 14-7. However, with Southend picking up two bonus points against Dorking, they still remain cemented at the bottom. Pepe Nanci and Jamie Warr were the try scorers both converted by James Falvey. Lewis Cracknell managed the only reply for Shelford.

An entertaining game at Rugby Lane saw home side

Sutton and Epsom come out on top 41-26 against

Guildford. Chris KolepoAjula went over for two tries with Felix Symonds, Brandon Fanolua, John Taylor and Andy Matthews also crossing.
