1st team report ....................................
The final score barely does the game justice.
Mods' didn't take the lead until the 16th minute when, following an entertaining mazey break by Booth, ELLIOTT opened our account with a tremendous power-house, line-busting charge. Playing up the hill and into a strong wind a try was a real bonus but more champagne was popped when 3 minutes later WALKER took them on and beat them single handedly for a superb individual touch down; Jake slotting the two points. 12-3. After a slow start Mods, had now hit their straps and PARRATT swept in for a third uphill try in the space of six wonderful minutes. Rotherham forced a score just before the half ended but there was still time for JAKE to bang over a 30 metre penalty. 20-8 at half time.
The second half promised a landslide but there was a tense wait before the points tally mounted beyond Rotherham's grasp. After 70 minutes, the last 30 of which saw a barrage of penalties against the Mods', Phoenix had rallied to 23-20 behind. Mods' needed discipline but more importantly they had to protect possession when they had chance. A hotly disputed knock on decision near the opponent's "22" gave Mods' the opportunity they craved and from the scrum WILSON touched down for a very important score. Confidence was restored in the nick of time and quite incredibly four more tries (MULLEN, BOOTH (2) and the full back - JOE FAULKNER were scored in the last six minutes plus stoppage time. 54-20.
