Towcester continued their unbeaten League march

Towcester continued their unbeaten League march with an emphatic win over Leicester Forest.

They travelled up the M1 with enforced changes at half back following an injury to influential scrum half Austin Wheldon.

Chris George moved inside from No 10 to No 9 while Matt Yuill moved into the vacated fly half spot from full back.

The pair combined to bag an early score when Chris George took a quick tap which led to a try and conversion for the versatile Matt Yuill.

Matt Yuill repaid the gift by putting in centre David Devlin-Jones with an inside pass and within five minutes Tows led 14-0.

Forest’s heavy pack returned fire and a line-out drive forced Tows onto the back foot for centre Karl Wesley to score under the posts.

It was the only time the home side troubled the scorer however and soon after they were reduced to 14 men for a blatant swinging arm on David Devlin-Jones.

Tows capitalised on a series of penalty scrums in the Forest half and released winger James Tilley to end the half 19-7 up.

Turning round with the slope and wind in their favour, the second half looked like it was going to be one way traffic and so it proved to be.

Prop Joe Chambers set up flying James Falvey and rampant skipper Liam Wilkinson crossed to make it 29-7.

Second row replacement Craig Holton announced his arrival with a 40 metre break to put James Tilley in for his second. The winger was on jug duty moments later when James Falvey set up his hat-trick.

Tows were now in complete control and with Liam Wilkinson blasting through the defence further tries followed for Chris George and Matt Yuill.

Towcester continue their League campaign on Saturday when they play Lutterworth at Greens Norton Road (KO 2.15pm).
