Gala YM 65

Liberton FP 0

Joe Dickson

at Netherdale

AFTER their shock defeat last week when they scored 40 points and lost, Gala YM came out with all guns blazing on Saturday at Netherdale against Liberton.

And had their try bonus point in the bag after just 13 minutes.

Straight from the kick-off, a neat chip behind the defence saw Liberton in trouble and from the ensuing ruck Billy Brownlee raced over for an unconverted try.

Rhuary Horsburgh crashed over in the corner for another unconverted try.

And moments after Steven Patterson had a great run down the middle only to have the ball dislodged in a tackle, Horsburgh raced in for his second try.

Good handling by the backs sent Adam Williams in for the bonus point score in the 13th minute.

YM at this point were already 20 points clear.

A classy backs move ended with an unconverted try from Scott Chapman.

And a great break by Kevin Andison saw him send Shane Kellett racing to the posts for try number six.

Billy Brownlee converted.

YM were flying and starving Liberton of possession.

A quickly taken tap penalty sent Kevin Andison running round behind the posts to score.

Brownlee added the extras.

Declan Broatch got on the scoreboard just before the interval after a good overload from Steven Patterson.

Brownlee converted to make it 46-0 at the half time whistle.

YM sat on their huge lead and the scoreboard did not change for 15 minutes when good work by the forwards sent Brownlee in for the ninth try, which he converted.

YM got another try minutes later when Andison got his second as the pack went for the pushover.

Brownlee again converted.

Liberton came more into things for long spell but could not find a way through YM’s dogged defence.

In the last few minutes the home team got an 11th try when Steven Patterson chased a long kick downfield to get the touchdown in the corner.

YM’s man of the match award went to Billy Brownlee.

This week YM are away to Lismore.
