Old Alleynians 33 Gravesend 7: Regional 2 South East match report

kentonline.co.uk

By Mark Bruce Gravesend’s poor Regional 2 South East form continued with a 33-7 defeat at Old Alleynians - their fifth league loss in a row.

The match was in doubt right up until kick-off. Overnight rain made the ground extremely heavy, while a strong breeze when the action got under way meant Gravesend struggled to make any real headway getting out of their own half.

Their defence began well, though, with player-of-the-match Chris Brady particularly effective. However, some poor discipline from Gs saw them penalised time and again.

From three of these, Old Alleynians used the wind to kick for goal and when they didn’t they managed to collect a lineout and drive over from close range.
