Headlines National Two
- The welcome return of Ben Montgomery helped Barking achieve its third win
of the season. Going behind after five minutes with a try by Harrogate
acted as a wake up call for the task ahead and Barking quickly came back
with a try of their own. The match turned round at half time with
Barking 15 - 11 ahead but an excellent display in the second half lifted the
final score to 34 - 11. The result still leaves Barking in the bottom
three with all to play for in the second half of the season. National
Three South - A pep talk by Director of Rugby Kevin Harman and the
inclusion of new signing, Andy Saull on loan from Saracens Academy, was all
that was required to put Southend back on track for promotion this season
after last weeks defeat by Westcombe Park. Travelling to third placed
Havant the team knew that they were going to have to get back to winning
ways. With a 20 - 34 win away from home Southend are now firmly back
on track 6 points ahead of Westcombe Park who yesterday beat Bridgewater &
Albion 33-14. Next week they take on Romford & GP in the Essex County RFU
