A superb performance from Eastern Counties away versus Hertfordshire at Hertford RFC.
Eastern Counties dominated possession throughout the match and surprised the home side who were at the top of the Division 1 Championship . Aaron Tagg made many an incursion into the Herts defence and fed to Jonny Utting to score, by outpacing the defence, converted by Chris Lewis.
Further pressure from the Eastern Counties pack and some astute kicking from Lewis meant that Eastern Counties led to Will Swart burying his way over for a try, again converted by Lewis.
Some excellent work from Sam Easton and Matt Waring kept the Herts attack at bay whilst George Ignarski pressurised the breakdown at every opportunity.
Debutants in the back Ollie Woodrow and Jordan Fester were coming into the game more with both providing excellent defence and pace in attack.
Matt Waring used his skills to dive over after a further sustained amount of Eastern Counties pressure.
Lewis completed the scoring with a penalty that meant Eastern Counties won 22-15 to maintaing their place in Division 1 of the Jason Leonard Championship for 2019.
Thanks must also go to coaches, Simon Kidney. Alun Minifey and Red Newberry.
