A hectic but very enjoyable day at New Dock Stars (again). Played on boxing day as a memorial to Warriors/Dock Legend Dai Spriggs it is hoped it will become an annual event.
The match was another exciting affair with the score swinging back and fore. Eventually following a great team movment, John Horwood crossed at the death to produce a match winning try and continue the Warriors unbeaten run.
With a number of players missing Richard 'Hapus' Evans stood in as Captain of a rather experimental team with Tom Corcoran amongst those making their debut for the club. His cousin Gareth, playing just his 2nd match got two tries whilst the 'vocal' Simon 'Tarw' Jenkins was named Man of the Match.
Try of the game was that scored by Jonny 'Killer' Kerr who scored from 50m, skinning the opposition full back whilst Jason Jenkins had some good runs against his brother Gareth Curtis.
WARRIORS TEAM & SCORERS: 15. Tom Corcoran 14. Rich Evans capt 13. Neil Parker 12. Gareth Corcoran 2 tries = 10pts 11. Jon Kerr 1 try =5pts 10. Jon Jones 9. Scott 8. Simon Jenkins 1try and con = 7pts 7. Chris Spriggs 1try = 5pts 6. Lee Barber 5. Stu Taylor 4. Jon Horwood 1try = 5pts 3. Jason Bennett 2. Jason Jenkins 1. Alan Stephens

Chris, Keith Harries, Big Lee Williams & Justin 'Bully' Hughes played 1/2 half for the Warriors.

The Warriors unbeaten run now streches to 16 games.
