Redcar See Out 2023 With A Resounding Win Against Sedgefield

With the wind blowing a hoolie, Sedgefield kicked off with it at their back. They used it well and kept Redcar on the defensive and won a penalty after only 6 mins, unfortunately the kick from in front of the posts blew wide and missed. Redcar made a few sorties into the Sedge half but dropped and forward passes gave the ball back to Sedge, who took the play back to Redcar’s 22. It was 30 mins later before anyone scored any points then Redcar’s speedy winger Luke Watson found a bit of space and raced away up the wing to score, Danny Addison converted, 7 - 0. Just a few mins later Luke again got the ball in Redcar’s 22 and weaved his way through half of Sedge’s team, to score a great try under the posts, Ado again converted it, 14 - 0. Then on 37 mins Redcar centre Matty Curry did the same from his own half, braking tackles as he burst through to score near the corner, 19 - 0.
