Hooker Cliff was Whitstable's top try scorer with 18 two seasons ago and already has six for this campaign although he said Saturday's win was the result of a real team effoert.

He said:"We only managed to take 15 players, we had a few injuries so we had to call-up three second team players and Dartford had 18. "We were expecting it to be a bit harder than it was because they're not a bad team but everything seemed to click for us. "We had a much-changed backline although the pack stayed pretty much the same and we just didn't deviate from the game plan."

Cliff went over for the first try inside two minutes and the Blues were comfortably clear by half-time.

Dartford scored their consolation in the 10 minutes before the interval and while the Blues were down to 14 following a yellow card for Joey Taggart.

Rob Hudson(2), Will Reid, Leeroy Chaipa, Luke Pepper and Craig May were the other scorers, flanker Mat steaming down the wing from 30 metres out - no mean achievement given he missed last season after having a hip replacement operation.

Cliff described Huey's goalkicking as outstanding and he also praised the three players who came up from the 2XV - full back Steve Mullins, winger Nathan Gambrill and Centre Grant Guy.

Whitstable host Footscray - who also have two wins from two - on Saturday and hope to have several of their walking wounded back.
