Thurrock II scored 13 tries in an awesome performance...

Difficult to know where to start!!...
On pitch 1, the second team produced a sublime performance to hammer their Southend rivals.

Thurrock started with a mix of youth and quality experience.
Everything clicked on the day, the forwards dominated the set piece and the backs cut loose with a attacking edge not seen so far this season.The starting front five of Paul Cooper, Jamie Hulse, Ant Pease, Billy Ellis and Tom Wileman ground the opposition down in the scrum, with the back row of Christopher Banks, Dean Munke and Christian Cunningham-Wood carrying, tackling and rucking well. 3s regulars Banksy at 8 and Jack Plom at 9 were devastating off the scrum and in the loose.
Meanwhile centres Conor Branton and man of the match and captain Earl Gorman were magnificent in attack and defence and fly half Caolan Watt-Adams distributed and kicked out of hand excellently.
Darryl Worster controlled the backs from full back and wingers Dano and Ian were a constant threat.
Subs Taylor Bramley, Dan Ulph, Jake Watts, Alex Wright and Ahmed Aminu all added to the attacking venom of the side.
Such was the quality of the open play by Ts that any side would have struggled to cope with their attack.

I won't bore you with all the scorers.... oh alright then!; Tries: Earl Gorman 4, Conor Branton 2, Christopher Banks 2, Darryl Worster 2, Dan O'Flaherty 1, Caolan Watt-Adams 1, Ian Farrell 1, Conversions: Caolan Watt-Adams 4, Earl Gorman 1.

Thanks to all involved, it is a real pleasure to see the success of the side and the obvious enjoyment of the players to produce such quality play.
