London 2 South-West Tough taskmaster Barry Bridgman was not totally impressed by Trojans’ 30-8 victory over KCS Old Boys.

But the ambitious coach did leave Surrey with a smile on his face as his side’s winning streak pushed them up to fourth place in London 2 South-West.

Bridgman picked out a few areas which he believes his improving squad will need to work on if the club is to continue its climb up the table.

He said: “We made far too many mistakes. We dropped lots of ball, spent far too much time using inside channel ball where their defence was strongest and were not good enough at the breakdown.”

But he also picked out plenty of positives.

“We did have the lion’s share of the ball, we did scrummage well and our line-out was pretty good,” he said. “It’s a good run at the moment and three five-pointers have done us the world of good, we’re up to fourth and looking to get higher.”

An early 8-0 advantage for Trojans from a Russell Clarke try and Chris Boyd penalty was cancelled out by KCS with a try and penalty of their own.

Clarke struck again just after the break and Simon Greenhalgh ended a 20-minute stalemate when he went over from a driving maul.

Relacement scrum half Chris Lynch brought up the bonus point when he crossed the line with ten minutes to go and Jobi Kochanowski had the final say with a try, converted by Ben Collins.

Gosport & Fareham’s home defeat by league leaders Guernsey has pushed them down to third from bottom.

Following the 35-10 loss director of rugby, Jamie Daly said: “Yes we lost but Guernsey deserve to be where they are – top of the league. Their backs outstripped us in every phase of the game.”

Simon Pickett’s try, converted by Richard Lloyd, got Gos back into the game and they finished the first half 17-7 down.

But Guernsey pulled away after the break to keep their comfortable lead at the top.

Winchester’s charge up London 3 South-West is stuttering after a couple of two-point margin defeats.

The side’s 12-10 disappointment at Sandown & Shanklin was followed by a 7-5 home loss against Petersfield.

Saturday’s upset accompanied Winchester’s worst performance of the season.

After a long period of dour, unproductive rugby, Winchester fly-half Jack Parsons produced a hard and high pass that was intercepted ten metres from the Petersfield line and gifted the visitors their only try of the game.

Winger Peter Bremner snatched the ball beneath his own posts and sprinted 70 metres unchallenged to score. Andrew Barnes’s conversion gave Petersfield a 7-0 half-time lead.

Seventeen-year-old Jack Parsons was both saint and sinner. It took almost an hour for Winchester to take control and, having camped on the visitors’ line for some ten minutes, it was Parsons who ran in the Winchester try, only to miss a conversion from in front of the posts.

He also missed two straightforward penalties and his wayward touch kicking was part of Winchester’s collective malaise.

“We allowed Petersfield to disrupt us,” said skipper Campbell Ettinger. “We didn’t play with enough energy and passion and the physicality wasn’t there in the contact situation and the rucking.

“Credit to Petersfield, they defended with a huge amount of passion, their rucking was first class and we need to learn to ruck like that.”

Winchester remain third after Sandown & Shankin lost out at leaders Teddington.

Fordingbridge looked as though they were going to record two wins in as many games – until they were hit with a penalty in the dying moments of their home clash with Old Wimbledonians.

It did not take OWs long to amass 17 points but Mat Norton hit a penalty and converted his own try to keep Bridge in the game.

Both teams slotted home two further penalties before Alex Tattersall touched down a push-over try. Norton converted that and hit a penalty as Bridge went 26-23 up but the Londoners drew level with the last kick of the game after the home side were penalised .

Neighbours Ellingham & Ringwood widended the gap between themselves and second-from-bottom Bridge with an 18-11 triumph at Old Wellingtonians.
