Fylde v Tynedale - Report

Here is last week's report on the National League One fixture at The Woodlands, as it appeared in The Rugby Paper on 23 October.

A good match that saw four tries from a forward (I don't know yet if he bought a round in the clubhouse afterwards).

National League One

Saturday 22 October 2011

Fylde got their season back on track, but not by doing it the easy way.

A slow start by the home side allowed Tynedale to take the lead, captain Grant Beasley driving over, with fly-half Matthew Outson missing the first of five conversion attempts.

It took the home side some time to get into their stride, but once they did, Evan Stewart got them back on track from the back row, after a fine line-out maul. 

Fylde took advantage of Myles Scott’s sin-binning, with tries from centre Mike Waywell, and Stewart again, before entering half-time with a 24-8 lead after Stewart had scored his hat-trick, peeling away from a driving maul in the goal area.

Outson added his only successful kick of the day with a penalty goal on the stroke of half-time.

Full back Nick Royle got the ball rolling almost straight from the restart, after clever play by winger Olly Brennand, with Kenyon adding the extras.

A fourth try from Stewart gave Fylde a seemingly unassailable lead, but they did their best to try and throw the game away, leaking four tries in the last half hour.

Tynedale took advantage of Alex Loney’s yellow card for not moving out of the tackle area, with scores for replacement Greg Irvine and winger Allan Rogers, before left winger Peter Cole and Beasley once more touched down late on.
