Youth rugby: Road to Hell is a happy one for Bognor
Bognor under-15s’ (pictured) long journey to Hellingly, East Sussex, yielded the full five points from a 39-12 win to take them back to the top of the league.
New signing Harry Edwards stormed through the Hellstorm defence to score under the posts and set up Ben Luxton for the conversion.
The home team worked their way into the corner for five points. But following a scrum, No8 Leon Young took advantage off an empty blindside to make it 12-5.
Luxton was forced off injured but Bognor added tries from Joe Alexander, Ben Calleja and a hat-trick and conversion from Toby Macer. Two yellow cards came before Hellstorm added seven more points.
BOGNOR: Calleja, Power, Campbell, Prior, Seaton, Baker, Young, Newton-Young, Woolnough, Macer, Humphrey, Alexander, Luxton, Edwards, Pearce, McLaren-Clark, Scutt.
