Medway (red/yellow) ran out easy winners against Crawley

Medway ruthlessly put lowly Crawley to the sword in one of just two rugby matches in the county to go ahead in the freezing conditions on Saturday.

Taff Gwilliam’s side ran in 15 unanswered tries to win 115-0 at Priestfields, which was unaffected by the inclement weather.

Leading try scorer Sam Catlin helped himself to five tries, taking his tally for the season to 20. James Dance scored a hat-trick, while there were braces for Douglas Ebanks, Martin Bagnall and Billy Humphrey.

With all of their London 3 South East rivals taking an enforced break, Medway’s win took them clear in second and within two points of leaders Crowborough.

The only other game in Kent to go ahead was in London 1 South, where Beckenham lost 51-15 at home to title contenders Guernsey.
