Crusaders Win Derby Game
On Saturday Crusaders played host to the Medics the first time, in the Norfolk Junior Cup.
Crusaders started strongly putting the Medics under extreme pressure and took the lead after 10 minutes. A good maul from the forwards saw the ball go blindside for Dean Anderton crash over to score 5-0 the conversion kicked by Theo Elliott.
The Medics were always in the game and had a really good 20 minutes near the end of the first half but Crusaders defence held strong.
Half time 7-0 all to play for
The second half was mostly dominated by the home side and they extended the lead after 60 mins. After the Medics gave away a penalty just outside the 22. A quick tap from Robert Loone and break saw him offload to Dean Anderton to score his second try of the game converted again by Theo Elliott. 14-0.
Dean should have got his hatrick after a great kick through the speedy hooker out sprinted the backs to knock on just as he went to gather the ball.
Crusaders went further ahead with 10 minutes to go after a great drive by the forwards could not be stopped by the Medics and Henry Joy went over to score,again Theo Elliott converted 21-0.
Give due to the medics they camped in our half for the last 10 minutes trying to get a score but great defence and medics dropping the ball when over the line kept the score at 21-0
Great win for the home side puts us into the Semi Final of the cup and a home draw against Dereham on the 14/3/2015.
