Stockwood Park pound Southam in Senior Vase

Stockwood Park coasted through to the next round of the Midlands Senior Vase with an emphatic 52-7 home victory over Southam.

The London Road men scored eight tries to continue their impressive run of form and book their place in the next round.

President John Humphreys said: “The side are growing in confidence by the week.

“It was another display of teamwork and skill in attack, supported by a well organised defence.

“There were some excellent individual performances, but overall some great team tries.”

Park’s tries came from Dan Needham, Michael Powell, Paul Harman, James Hankey, Jason Carr, Rob Hartley, David Keating and Dermot McCabe, while Carr slotted over six conversions.

McCabe’s try was the pick of the bunch as he picked his way through several Southam defenders from close to the halfway line to touch down under the posts.

Park went into the break with a 31-0 lead, effectively shutting out the game by the halfway point.

A fierce defensive display from the home side was spearheaded by tough-tackling man of the match Kyle Jennings.

Southam were awarded a penalty try just after half time, but struggled to break Park down for the rest of the game.

Sharp switches of the point attack from Park hounded Southam all afternoon, with the visitors failing to get to grips with the pace of the game.

Park travel to Northampton Mens Own on Saturday October 26 to resume their league campaign.

This weekend Stockwood visit Northampton Mens Own.

Meanwhile, Luton host Ruislip in London One North and Dunstablians go to Market Harborough in Midlands Two East South.
