Rampant Amps hammer Albion

Ampthill .......... 48 Plymouth A .... 15

AMPTHILL ran in five second-half tries to race away from Plymouth Albion and seal a fine victory.

The visitors came out of the blocks firing, taking the lead in the sixth minute with an unconverted try through John Kelly.

Ampthill responded with a 16th minute catch and drive try from hooker Ollie Walliker.

The sides then exchanged penalty goals, with Ampthill fly-half Josh Sharp's goal on 26 minutes cancelled out by one from Albion wing Matthew Shepherd.

As half-time approached, Amps were camped deep in the visitors 22, conceding a penalty try for a deliberate knock-on, leaving the score 15-8 at the break.

Plymouth tied the score on 41 minutes with another penalty try after A’s were penalised for a maul offence.

Straight from the kickoff, Will Allman raced through for a touchdown, which went unconverted, before Mikey Waters finished a fine backs try on 54 minutes, Sharp adding the extras.

Right wing Spencer Sutherland was set free by scrum-half Kevin Barrett to touch down behind the posts. Sam Baker added two quick-fire tries, both converted by Waters, as Plymouth tired and Ampthill confirmed an emphatic win.
