Thanet 4ths 12 Whitstable 2nds 42
Meanwhile, the Blues 2nds XV journeyed to Broadstairs, where they proved too strong for the Thanet 4th XV in a Late Red 4 league match. With a good balance of youth and experience, the visitors’ pace and sharpness created four first half tries through Grant Guy, Ollie James, Steve Mullins and Matt Guy. All were converted by Sam Payne to give the away team a 28 – 0 half-time lead.
After the break, the Thanet team put up a far more effective display as they grabbed two close range touchdowns, one converted, following powerful forward drives. However, Whitstable responded with two further converted tries from Payne and left wing, Craig Thomson, with Payne adding the extra points. A 42 – 12 final score in favour of the visitors was the result.
