Birmingham Exiles 0, Evesham U-14 67pts

ANOTHER dominant forward display set the tone with a safe catch and drive putting full back Ryan Clarke over inside the first two minutes.

The visitors even supplied their hosts with two players with Adam Meadows and Callum Lance sportingly playing a half each.

Such was the superiority in the forwards that the backs had the freedom to express themselves and clever inter-play between Henry Appleby and captain Mike Diston put Matt Phillips through to score under the posts.

Diston then got on the scoresheet from the restart running the ball round a static defence and leaving an easy conversion.

Evesham again stretched their shellshocked opponents and spread the ball wide through Sam Hopkins, James Ingleby and Tom Singleton-Wells who put Phillips through once again.

Long spells of sustained pressure from Josh Greatrix, Russell Boyles and Mike Gander, together with outstanding back row play from Ross Hayward and Ian Sime, led to Mike Ibbotson putting Anthony Watts through in the corner.

The sniping Appleby then saw the smallest of gaps from a five-metre scum to cross on the stroke of half-time.

A reshuffle saw the introduction of Matt Power, Sam Walsh, Lewis Willets, Andrew Cook and Andrew Chandler but Evesham continued to show no mercy and Diston burst through to score once again.

The skipper added another before Watts scored twice and the rout was finished off in style by player of the match Clarke.

The triumphant squad of 23 players have now amassed 136 unanswered points in their last two games but their biggest test comes this weekend at Stratford where they will need to be at their very best if they are to avoid a repeat of last season's defeat.
