Rams raid is too much for Worthing
Reding'sians 39
Worthing ……26
REDINGENSIANS Rams opened their New Year with three tries in 20 minutes against a young Worthing team stricken with injuries.
Two touchdowns from Tom Vooght and another from Colin Thomson gave the home side a 15-0 lead after just 20 minutes.
Worthing refused to lie down and slick handling put David McIlwaine through a gap to score in the 26th minute, Matt McLean adding the extras.
The Rams struck back though before and after the break with tries from Ollie Foxley and Ben Henderson to take a 20-point lead.
But back came the Raiders to grab a second try through Jack Maslen, McLean again on target for the conversion.
Worthing's injury woes worsened during the game with Michael Dingle and Hameed Ajaye taking blows to the head.
And with a decimated front row the scrums went uncontested from the 56th minute.
This gave the Sussex men a platform that they had previously lacked at the scrum and their backs made good use of the possession they were now afforded.
Jack Forrest scored on 60 minutes and the ever reliable McLean touched down himself in the 80th minute to give the Raiders a much-deserved try bonus point.
