Southwold 19 Dereham 0 (8-3-2008) Southwold gained more valuable league points with a hard-fought victory against Dereham. The most influential player on the park was the driving wind making accurate passing and kicking difficult. Hence it was a dour match mainly contested between the two packs. Southwold however exploited the blind side to good effect. Early in the game Strachan was unlucky not to gather a deft kick into space from the boot of Cayley. Most of the match was contested in the middle third of the pitch. The deadlock was broken by a flurry of quick hands and short passes from the forwards that led to Russell Hume dotting down for the try. Duncan, his brother, got in the act when the centre saw the opposition racing offside. He dummied himself into the gap and strolled in under the posts. A try which he himself converted. This score put the game beyond any doubt as Dereham refused to move the ball beyond their scrum-half - No 8 combination. The Southwold backrow got through a prodigous amount of work thus forcing slow, unusable ball for Dereham to attempt to attack with. The Southwold pack countered the short drives and won two kickable penalties which Duncan Hume duly converted.
