Rosslyn Park………. 61 Dings…………………….24

By RHYS STRATTON

ROSSLYN Park were on fire to start the match – and Dings simply didn’t have an answer.

An early Josh Brag-man try was soon followed by back-to-back scores for Joe Luca Smith.

Then Benji Marfo scooped up a loose ball and ran it in from halfway before a Bragman chip over the top was reeled in by Smith for a first-half hat-trick.

Jordan Martin then finished off the dominant first half with a try under the posts.

Dings finally got on the scoreboard in the second half as a penalty straight from kick-off allowed Tomas Gwilliam to steer a maul over the line.

Then Marfo got on the end of a Bragman cross-field kick to complete his brace before setting up a try himself with a chip to Charlie Mulchrone.

The visitors then wrestled back momentum when Kofi Cripps went over from the back of another maul before Deago Bailey finished off a nice move.

Sam Edwards then secured the bonus point with a snipe on the Park line.

Despite this, a comeback remained out of reach and Ewan Fenley cemented the dominant victory with a late try in the corner following a yellow card shown to Dings’ Matt Lane.
