There were some dramatic twists in this 35 overs per side game at Warley on Sunday with both teams producing significant batting collapses. The dismissals of Belhus openers from consecutive deliveries, specifically Jim Banner for exactly 50 and Michael Randall for 25, sparked the first procession of batsmen to and from the pavilion as the visitors crashed from 82 without loss to 103 for eight.
Further Thurrock scores came from Barton (2), Walsh (2) and Millsom, with Gola Jnr scoring the try of the game, which involved some of the pack and all of the backs in a free flowing move. There was also a solo effort when Cotter went in alone under the posts. Cotter also kicked a few penalties and conversions to seal a determined, but dispirited Rochford side.

Thurrock however stepped up the pace and Nathan Farrell, Chris Banks went over fors score’s before Stubbs added another for the visitors. Ben Stanley and Luke Crowhurst added a further try each with Burns adding one conversion to seal a very worthwhile run out.
