Sarries keep up the good work
1st XV v Painswick
For the second week in a row, Sarries came out of the blocks flying with a score from the kick off from Jack Lawrenson which was converted by Jeremy Beasley to start the match 0-7 up. Sarries settled down in to a well structured game which finally saw the ball spun out wide to winger Jude Shuldham-Legh on 12 minutes to further increase the lead. Five minutes later and it was the turn of Adam Simmons to dot another one down with the conversion to follow.
More sustained pressure then followed from the Sarries until the ball was, once again, destined for Jude. Unfortunately for Painswick, their interception attempt ended in a deliberate knock on, a yellow card, and a penalty try to Sarries.
Sarries were then caught sleeping after a Painswick penalty which saw the home side put their first points on the board. Not to be deterred, Sarries hit straight back with Connor McDaid putting the next score on the board which was once again converted Half time score 7-33 to the Sarries.
The second half continued much as the first and within ten minutes, after a massive set of carries, Simmo was at it again with his second score of the match. A further ten minutes went by and it was the turn of Bunnions to increase the score – the forwards were having a field day. In the dying minutes Connor put his second score of the game over the try line.
Final score Painswick 7 – Saracens 48
Writers MoM was a tricky one with Connor, Henry and Simmo getting a huge mention, but the accolade goes to Tyler Martin for his relentless work.
