BILLY PARKER AND LONI LONI ATTACK THE HEATH LINE
SCARBOROUGH 24 HEATH 3
By Dave Campbell
Scarborough continued their surge up Yorkshire One with a solid performance in beating visitors Heath RFC at Silver Royd.
The Seasiders fell 0-3 behind when Heath fullback Ezra Hinchliffe stroked over an early penalty. However the visitors’ advantage was short lived and Scarborough fly-half Tom Harrison evened things up with a 9th minute penalty.
However it takes more than a bit of ‘grunt’ up front to win a rugby match and Scarborough took a deserved lead on the half hour when lock Aaron Wilson finished off a powerful drive and Harrison kicked the touchline conversion for a 10-3 lead.
The second half continued with a real arm-wrestle and Scarborough had a lot of defending to do. However The visitors never really have the edge to convert their pressure into points and tries from skipper Matty Jones and prop Nino Cutino, both converted by Harrison put the issue beyond doubt.
