Plymouth A………….29

IT was a swansong sendoff for Sedgley Park’s Danny Maher and Mark Goodman as the Tigers mauled Plymouth.

The game started at a ferocious pace with a Warren Seals’ penalty and an interception from Alex Wills which gave Sedgley the lead inside the opening ten minutes. Seals converted.

Wills grabbed another try with a nice move off the left, and quick thinking from Andy Riley who intercepted a pass, and managed to walk home his ninth try of the season.

The visitors responded well towards the end of the half with tries from Paul Brown-Bampoe and Tom Putt to reduce the deficit.
