Broadstreet 53 Kettering 5
By Coventry Telegraph
November 19 2008
FOUR tries in the first nine minutes put Broadstreet on course for a resounding victory as they climbed into second place in the table. Scrum-half and man-of-the-match Nick Thatcher opened the scoring and touched down again after impressive centre Alex Croft had weighed in with a brace, and with fly-half Dan Richards adding two conversions before improving his own try, Street - playing fast
and enterprising rugby - were in complete control with a 31-0 lead and just 15 minutes on the clock.

After such a blistering start Street inevitably lost some of their impetus, but after resisting a spell of pressure from the Kettering pack, they eased further ahead on the half hour through a Richards penalty before his conversion of an Andy McGrory try took the half-time score to 41-0.

With the outcome beyond doubt Street's second half performance was subdued in comparison to the first 40, but hard-working Garry Challis added a try on 55 minutes and, after an unconverted Kettering try, Thatcher - now playing at centre - cut through to complete his hat-trick, Richards converting.
