Houghton debutants shine on an away day victory.

In usual fashion, Houghton started the game with a bang. A good catch by Allan Scott and quick delivery, seen James Ross carry the ball before putting Tyler Armstrong in for is first senior try.

Straight from the kick off Ryan Graham and Ewan Lydiatt combined making 30 meters down field. Ewan delivered a great one-handed offload to George Greenshields to score the first of many.

Another clean catch this time by Phil Holman set up Houghton again. A series of carries by Newton Turton and Ewan Lydiatt set up impressive scrum half Ollie Baines who linked with Holman to score an excellent try. This time it was converted by Rory Dunne.

The game settled for a five-minute period after an impressive Westend attack came from a spilled ball, however a Turton turnover seen Lydiatt and Graham combine again! An offload to Armstrong to net his second, converted by Dunne.

Not to be outshone by the debutant Greenshields grabbed a first half Hatrick. Houghton led half time 36-0

The first half stared slowly, until a penalty seen Greenshields tap and go. He rounded the Westend side for his fourth try of the Match. Converted by Dunne.

Houghton switched off at this point and Westend attacked for a period. A series of scrums seen them enter our 22. Brilliant defence, eventually seen Lydiatt strip the ball relieving pressure. He passed to Greenshields who turned on the gas to score his fifth of the game.

The host did not give up! Westend came back. A series of drives and penalties got them within 5m of the points zone. Unfortunately for the, Glen Atkinson was not playing nice and a brilliant jackal seen him release Armstrong. The youngster races 45m for a hatrick, conversion Dunne.
