Rams 50-25 Birmingham Moseley: Half century hit as winning run extends to eight

RAMS racked up a half century as they recorded an eighth straight National One win with a 50-25 home success against Birmingham Moseley.

For the second week in a row, the hosts started poorly as they fell behind to an early Sam McNulty try, the hooker touching down at the back of a rolling maul.

Yet Rams replied almost immediately, a beautifully dinked kick from skipper Drew Humberstone collected by Henry Bird to dive over on the left.

A fine Alex Seers conversion nudged his side in front, but the helter-skelter nature of the early stages continued as Moseley hit back with an Elliott Creed try started with an interception in midfield.

Ollie Allsopp knocked over the conversion for 12-7, but the hosts rallied again as their rolling maul got to work before Ben Henderson off-loaded to Jak Rossiter for his 10th of the season.

Seers landed another cracking conversion, but Allsopp replied with a penalty as the lead swapped hands again.

Rams took control, though, as the maul contributed two more tries finished by Ollie Taylor and Ross Crame, Seers adding the extras to the second for 26-15.

A second Allsopp penalty cut the deficit to eight points at the interval, but Rams roared out of the blocks at the start of the second period, the maul this time halted only for Ant Marris to cut a fine line to touch down to the left off the posts.

Seers made no mistake, and the home side moved further in front shortly after as some terrifically patient play near the goal line ended with a long pass to Bird to double his tally.

Ellis Jones then scythed through in midfield for his side’s seventh try of the afternoon, and the half-century was brought up when replacement Michael Dykes raced through before chipping ahead.

And while the London Irish loanee was unable to touch down, Rossiter was as he restored his name to the top of the division’s scoring charts.

Moseley continued to battle gamely, and struck the final blow as Jide Ajayi burrowed over from close range, Allsopp drop-kicking the conversion as the clock wound down.

Rams’ director of rugby Seb Reynolds said: “It was a very tricky game to manage because we’d had a very emotional couple of weeks with big fixtures, and as I said during the week, every match is tough.

“We were without our captain (Robbie Stapley) whose been playing very well and we lost James McRae on Thursday night, but all our boys stepped up.

“Something clicked and everyone just focussed in, and we didn’t really let a good Birmingham side into the game.

“If you’re being critical, our line-out didn’t function as we’d want it to, and we maybe lacked a bit of discipline in the middle of the pitch which gave them opportunities, but arguably it’s our performance of the season so far.”

He continued: “When we executed what we do well in the first half we scored, but we let them back in with a few errors.

“Credit to them, they fired some shots early and scored some tries – it’s what you get at this level – but we extended away in the second half and it ended up being a very good performance.”
