Some players manage games; Dan Whitfield conducted this one. Eighteen points from the boot, a try-saving cover tackle, and an 80th-minute interception stroll-in — the complete fly-half performance.
Kingsfold’s five-try bonus-point win over Westbrook Mariners never looked in doubt once Whitfield found his range, pinning the visitors in their own half for the entire third quarter.
“When Whitty plays like that, the whole backline plays downhill. A captain’s performance in everything but the armband.” — Marcus Bell, Club Captain
Five tries, five different scorers
Okafor crashed over from short range, Ellery finished a sweeping move, Callaghan powered through from the base, and Pryce sniped around the fringes — before Whitfield applied the gloss with the final play.
Next up: the visit of Northgate, and on this form the number 10 shirt is the least of the opposition’s worries.
