Scarborough Edge Rugby Thriller

Sunday, 31 October 2021 11:32

By Charlie Hopper & Andrew Snaith

A last minute try won Scarborough a scintillating encounter in County Durham on Saturday, though it didn't go so well for Bridlington or Whitby.

Brid's good recent run, in Yorkshire One, was ended at Old Rishworthian.

A low-scoring encounter in Copley, near Halifax, ended 15-9.

Whitby were well-beaten in their A174 derby at Redcar, in Durham & Northumberland Division Two.

They were unable to build on last week's win over Sedgefield after a 57-12 defeat at their rivals.

Scarborough, however, won a thriller game of rugby at Hollow Drift.

The visitors got off to a flyer racing into a 12-0 lead, inside the first 15 minutes. However, hosts Durham turned things around to go 14-12 up at half-time.

The home side were again leading, 28-24, going into the final minute. There was a scrum 10 metres from the Durham line. Tom Ratcliffe won the ball and ploughed through the home defence before releasing and Aaron Wilson to go over for the try, though it wasn't converted.
