Match Report
Kent 54-42 S London II
A Kent Ravens side with several new players triumphed in an enthralling contest at Princes Park Stadium. The Ravens started slowly
and went behind early on. This early score seemed to wake the Kent Ravens, who upped the tempo, and shortly after Tom White, a
debutant, crossed the try line to level the score. Richard Williams then scored the Ravens second try of the afternoon. South
London Storm did come back into the match, and scored a second try of their own.
Next, Ravens’ skipper Aiden Oakley scored a try after a superb run through the heart of the Storm. Another debutant, Andy Reeve
then scored the team’s fourth try. Just before the end of the first half, Tom White scored his second try. Aiden Oakley kicked
four goals in the first half to make the half time score 28-10 to the Ravens.
In the second half the Storm came back strongly and reduced their arrears but the Ravens were still looking very dangerous in
attack. Another debutant, Tom Spear, scored the Ravens sixth and eighth tries of the match, and in between these was a try by
another new face, Steve Say. Joe Oxford, in his second game for the Ravens scored a try to virtually seal the game for the Kent
Ravens. Richard Williams then topped off a superb afternoon for the Ravens by scoring his second try of the match. Aiden Oakley
kicked a further three goals in the second half to make the final score 54-42 to the Ravens.
