London Three South West

Old Midwhitgiftian 46 Kingston 5

RHYS Millar brought his try tally for the season to nine in just three appearances after adding two more in Old Mids' rout of Kingston last Saturday.

The centre scored the first after just eight minutes when fly half Dan Crouch cleverly chipped over the Kingston defence for Millar to gather at pace and run in to touch down.

The hosts looked more likely to score again and almost did but winger David Stanton lacked support after making a fine break.

Crouch slotted a penalty to put his side 8-0 ahead in the 20th minute, but the real blitz began after half time with Mids making far better use of possession.

Kingston were competing well in the set scrums but Mark Handley had established dominance for Mids in the lineouts.

After Millar slotted a long straight penalty goal, the visitors got back in the game on 50 minutes when flanker Chris Connelly broke from half way and scored an unconverted try in the corner.

Crouch dummied his way over as Mids responded, Millar converting, before Kingston lost Martin Ng'Uni to a yellow card.

A quick tap penalty put Stanton over in the corner, Millar adding the points from the touchline, a feat he repeated two minutes later when he converted his own try after being put in by Crouch.

At 32-5, the Mids backs were running amok. They scored two more tries, the first from full back James Orchard and the second from winger Ben Murphy.

Millar converted both, giving him six successful place kicks out of six to cap a fine performance.

It was an encouraging performance from the Old Boys with the backs making excellent use of good ball from the pack and it puts their promotion aims back on track.
