TOP TRY SCORERS AT THE END OF MARCH

SCRUM-HALF duo Ollie Hodgson and Sam Boxhall, along with prop Nick Barry, took the number of Rams’ try-scorers to 26 as they claimed their first scores during a free-flowing March.

Hodgson bagged his first at Blackheath before repeating the trick in the 30-19 home success against Rotherham Titans, Royal Air Force man Boxhall getting off the mark in the same game versus his former club.

Zach Clow’s hot streak continued as he crossed in all three fixtures – Sedgley Park to start – as he continues to lead the way with 15 to his name this term.

Max Hayman, who was National One Player of the Week for his outstanding display against Titans, is next with 13 having touched down in the Rotherham game.

Axel Kalling-Smith is now on 11 after grabbing the opener against Park, while Tomek Pozniak (eight), Morgan MacRae (seven), Robbie Stapley (six) are next on the list.

Swain and Lamb add to tallies

Dan Swain doubled his seasonal tally to four after scoring in the same game and against Club, Andrew Lamb joining the second row and Solodrau Radianirova and Tom Vooght with a quartet after dotting down at Sedgley.

A third penalty try of the campaign arrived at Blackheath, while Oli Rhoads’ last-gasp effort at Sedgley saw the youngster join Ben Atkins, Nile Dacres, Rowan Grundy, Hodgson and Ryan Lomas on two.

Barry’s powerful effort at Blackheath means he joins nine other players with one to their name in the form of Boxhall, Ollie Cole, Mikey Duda, Ioan Emanuel, Luke Graham, James McRae, Olise Monye, Jake Murray and Jasper Spandler.

The 14 tries in March helped Rams reach 101 in their 23 games to date – an average of 4.39 per game.

The forwards/backs split stands at 53-48 (including three penalty tries for the pack) with three matches remaining, scores coming right across the park as the season heads to its conclusion.
