17/2/06 - Hat-trick for Clee in seconds win
MALVERN'S seconds, having been denied a fixture the previous week following a cancellation by Upton, found themselves trawling the pool again after National League Cinderford's seconds withdrew.OLD VESEYIANS II 7pts, MALVERN II 42ptsFortunately, Old Veseyians surfaced and the Malvern side travelled to the outskirts of Walsall to take on a larger pack, well versed in the art of mauling.With the visitors fielding no less than ten players under the age of 29, mobility proved the key, as OVs found themselves over-run whenever they attempted to engage in open play. The home side's driving mauls ensured large territorial gains, threatening to score on several occasions, but Malvern's back row of brothers Nick and Stuart Clarke, with teenage debutante Adam Green, showing genuine potential at eight, totally disrupted the Veseyian midfield,.With the powerful running of centre Ali Hills, returning to near full fitness, and the quick service provided by the unusual half-back pairing of Adam Dixon and Ryan Milne, the breakthrough soon came. Wing Will Clee crossed for a seven pointer, Adam Dixon knocking over the first of his six conversions on the day, a flawless display. The visitors' running power began to carve open the home defence and when too much attention was paid to Hills and his centre partner Grant Fraser, fly-half Milne cruised through to touch-down under the posts.Fraser than made a break at outside-centre before feeding Liam Maloney who dived over for a well-worked try just before the break.The second period continued in the same vein, with the maul being Veseyians most effective weapon, and when the catch and drive was employed the inevitable try was turned into seven points with a spectacular conversion from wide.A try for Fraser and two more for Clee followed, with the young winger in particular finishing with real sharpness, completing his hat-trick with a neat side-step and a sparkling turn of pace. more...
