Basingstoke stay in the fight but go down hard.

Arthur Rabjohn1 Feb - 22:38

21 points for Chris Buckett as he takes on the kicking duties.

A solid performance with 14 tries and 8 conversions totaling out at 86 points for Dolphins to Basingstokes single try, 86-5 final score.
All credit to Basingstoke stayed in the fight to the end and made a real game of it, but the Dolphins patience and ruthlessness was to much for them as they put together patterns and exploited every opportunity.
Tries Harrison Young, Rory Penfold, Will Perry, Chris Buckett, Will Double (2), Will Saunders, Patrick Warriner, Joel MacFarlane (2), Sean Shepherd, Jacob Ashworth, Freddie Hayes, Charlie Davis.
Joel MacFarlane stepping into fly half had a great game but the stand out player was Will Double who was awarded man of the match for his brace of tries and performance all over the park today. Typical of the performance today Dolphins pinned Basingstoke back through 6 defensive phases forcing them to kick and then Dolphins countered with 3 attacking phases to score. Both scrum halves, Robbie Hume and Nathan Evans, were kept very busy today.
Yellow Card for Sean Shepherd didn't slow the team down as with 14 players they still score two tries in the 10 minute sin bin period.
So 16 games from 16 won with maximum points. 15 points ahead of of 2nd place side with a game in hand.
We welcome Guernsey St Jacques to The Lane next week 13:00 KO.
