What a difference a week makes,from conceding 10 tries the week before,to scoring 11 the following match,almost confirming Burnham’s status for next season.Where do we start,the front row of Ed Lewis,Adam Peters and Chris Warner,providing excellent ball followed by great support around the field.Warner and Lewis relishing the opportunity to use their strength and determination to gain ground and provide a solid platform.Next up Luke Gowan and Brett Diver,stoking the engine room enabling the scrum to continually go forward,backed up by a livewire back row in the shape of Ash Cutter,Tom Stevens and the evergreen Stuart Blake,proving that you can’t keep a good’un down.The Backs,a Man of the Match winning performance from Sam Lewis in his distribution,punching well above his weight in his tackling and always there at the base of open play.Tim Piper,pulling the strings in conducting all the moves,short ball,long ball,the occasional dummy and keeping cool calm and collected.Richard Muskett and Josh Holder,willing assistants to which ever move was called,a defensive stronghold in preventing their opposite opponents from being able to create any continuity and supplying a constant supply of good ball for the back three.The back three,Brandon Pettitt,Russell Pike and Jordan Paul displaying power,pace,combined with deadly finishing showed that on their day they are invincible.Ably assisted by the replacements,Nick McKen,Jake Harding and Lee Vaughan.What a performance with excitine interplay between backs and forwards,creating many tries from well inside their own half.For this correspondent a splendid example of the future with Ash Cutter’s try.Ed Lewis’s catch from the kickoff,ball recycled to Cutter who barrelled through tackles ,to race in from 65 metres.Marvellous.Try scorers were,Jordan Paul 4,Brandon Pettitt 2,Tom Stevens 2,Russ Pike,Ash Cutter and Tim Piper,all 1 each.Piper kicking 10,out of 11,conversions.Bring on the next opponent,because,in this mood Burnham are a match for anyone.
