HARWICH and Dovercourt Rugby Club ran in nine tries during a 53-8 success at Felixstowe.

They finished as clear winners of Saturday’s Eastern Counties League division two contest and now have a week off before the Suffolk Plate final next Saturday.

“It was another pleasing performance by the lads,” said coach Shane Manning.

“They stuck to their structure and because of that we scored nine tries.

“The guys weren’t 100 per cent satisfied with how they played, though.

“There’s a real desire within the squad to keep improving, both as individuals and as a team.”
