Sunday 2nd April Southwold U16s v Diss U16s

Diss played Southwold for the third time this Season, a good home win early in the season, narrowly losing in an away game. This time meeting on mutual ground for a decider. Southwold kindly loaned a player to play 15 aside.
Diss out off the blocks early to set the standard for the game, fast pace, good quick hands for Ben Brown to claim the first try. James Webster with his speed to score next. A knock on from Diss straight into opposing hands through a gap for Southwold to score. A setback for Diss as Fred Sargent on the receiving end of a hand off with a possible finger in the eye left the field with no further action seeking medical treatment. Diss now playing with 14 players, were hit with another try from Southwold. 10 - 10. Diss stepped up a gear. Tries from George Jones, Tom Elkins, George converted. Then Tom Jacka, John Webster and Mathew Baxter, again George converted this one, all scored tries to bring the half time score to 10 - 39 in Diss favour.
The second half started, Southwold had regrouped, came on strong and quick with a converted try. George Jones scored another from Diss. Diss were noticibly tiring and fading, made it difficult for themselves, errors of knockons forward passes and offsides slowed their progress. Southwold hit Diss again with another converted try. But weren't totally done, a run in try from Nat Strange with the last try of the day.
Diss played a good game on the day with their speed, excellent hands, teamwork and shear hardwork, produced an exciting enjoyable game, even playing a man down. With a final score of Southwold 22 - 49 Diss. Well done them.
