For the majority of the first half Ross were unable to impose their game, with scrums and lineouts domi- nating. Westbury camped them- selves in Ross’ 22 and the home side would have gone into the half-time break be- hind if it was not for their strong defence. But Ross were much braver with the ball in the second half and it wasn’t long be- fore they opened their ac- count for the afternoon. Some good approach work from the forwards and backs put Billy Hambling into space and he ran on to touch down. Thai Hayward added the conversion to put Ross 7-0 up. Ross’ performance was in stark contrast to their first- half display, with forwards and backs running hard and direct at the Westbury defence. It was inevitable that an- other score would come and it duly arrived courtesy of Huw Bellamy, who finished off a move that saw Ross run and offload the ball from well within their own half. Hayward again kicked over the extras. Within minutes, Ross were 21-0 up thanks to another great move. This time, Josh Element touched down fol- lowing a well—timed pass from his brother Ben; Bel- lamy this time stepping up to convert the extras. Hayward later left the field following a cut to his head, but Ross managed to hold on despite Westbury grabbing a late penalty try.
