Tag Rugby League - FevNet Rovers Community Rugby League

Fevnet travelled to top of the league Halifax with only the starting line up available, but gave an outstanding display of flowing rugby and at times fantastic passing.

It was Rovers who took the early lead when Simon Vickers put Andy Mitchell through the smallest of gaps, and he then went on to beat 3 defenders to go over after only 2 mins of play. Fax then turned the screw and managed to open up 3 try defeciet, the defensive efforts of Danny Jones, Chris Taylor, Andy Nicholls stopped fax running away with this game and Rovers mounted assault after assault on the Fax line before Andy Mitchell crossed then Vickers and shortly before half time Chris Mitchell bagged his first of the day. with the half time score only 12 - 10 rovers could see there was a massive chance for them to snatch this game away from Fax.

The second half though didnt start well when from the kick off one tackle was made before fax raced away to score, it went try for try most of the second period that spell saw Andy Nicholls, Danny Jones, Simon Vickers, Andy Mitchell and Chris Mitchell all score. In the last five mins when fax made changes and brought fresh legs on, something Rovers could not do, and those changes saw them open up a 4 point gap that Rovers despite a gallent effort could not claw back.

Andy Mitchell bagged his second man of the match award in as many games, Club Sec Chris Mitchell said after the game "every single one of the Rovers players today is the man of the match, we came here today to give them a challenge and we gave them more than even we imagined, we can be proud of the way we performed"
