Crusaders crush Lions.


DINGS CRUSADERS 35

RUGBY LIONS 27

LIONS showed improved form but lacked the quality needed to win in Bristol.

Lions began in typical fashion, failing to convert chances the opposition could take - Adam Westall kicked a penalty and converted Sylvan sylvan

 Edwards' try for 10-0 after 11 minutes.

But then Hawken kicked a penalty and converted Stuart Riding's barn-storming try for 10-10 on 19 minutes.

Anther anther, pollen-bearing structure of the stamen of a flower, usually borne on a slender stalk called the filament. Each anther generally consists of two pollen sacs, which open when the pollen is mature.  Westall penalty on the short pitch allowed Dings to lead until converted tries by Shaun Brady and Tom Harris Tom Harris may refer to:

Dings pressed on the restart and Lions defended well before Hawken's penalty on the hour for 20-27.

Dings scored through Westall for 25-27 to set up an intense last quarter.

Dings pressed but did not score until Ricky Jones' blindside run for a converted try - 32-27 with added time left. Westall's last-kick penalty denied Rugby a bonus point.

SCORERS: Dings - tries: Edwards, Caven, Westall, Jones; conversions: Westall (3); penalties: Westall (3). Rugby Lions - tries: Riding, Brady, Harris; conversions: Hawken (3); penalties: Hawken (2).
