Dominant John Cleveland

John Cleveland's passage into the fifth round was surprisingly easy againstLong Road Sixth Form College where they camped in the Cambridge team's halffor most of the game.

Only some courageous defending kept the score down to22-0. Ben Ashfield's 13th minute try was converted by Luke Myring, who thenkicked a penalty and scored a try himself on the half hour.

That made it15-0 at half time and JCC were only able to breach the home defence oncemore through Charles Clark with Myring converting. It won't be so easy nexttime.

Barring Old Swinford causing a major upset, John Cleveland will faceone of the Midland form horses, King's Worcester, at home. LeicesterGrammar are the first team through in the other Midland section but it wasa close run thing, 22-18 at home against King Edward's, Camp Hill. ChrisBarrow scored their first try and kicked a penalty and two conversions withRob Angrave and Mark Johnson also touching down.
