A LAST-GASP Ellis Jones try helped RAMS make it a perfect 10 National One bonus-point successes in a row with a come-from-behind 26-14 home victory against a resilient Plymouth Albion.

It was RAMS who made the initial breakthrough as some sustained pressure inside the visitors’ 22 ended with Henry Bird floating a lovely pass to Jak Rossiter for his fellow wing to touch down on the right.

Drew Humberstone landed a terrific touch-line conversion to push his side 7-0 in front, but a trio of errors inside RAMS’ own 22 allowed Plymouth to level when Ramaz Rukhadze powered over from close range, Tom Putt adding the extras.

The away fly-half, whose boot and a strong breeze was giving Plymouth the better of territory, missed a 40-metre penalty attempt to ensure the sides were locked together going into the interval.

However, Plymouth did take the lead midway through the third quarter when some slick handling set-up scrum-half Jake Oulton to cross under the posts.

Putt made no mistake with the conversion, but RAMS rallied and forced a succession of penalties in the Albion 22.

Away second row Jake Clemson was sin-binned on the hour mark for failing to retreat when Ollie Cole took a quick tap penalty near the line, and RAMS drew level when Max Hayman burrowed over from close range for a try converted by debutant Tim Townsend.

Plymouth hooker Harry Wilkinson was then sent off for a dangerous tackle on Dan Swain, and the hosts then bravely kicked to the corner from which Ollie Moffitt rode a maul over the line.

While Townsend’s attempt drifted left, the crowd was coming more and more into the contest and as the clock ticked into the red, one last hurrah helped take the hosts to 50 league points.

It was Rossiter who inspired it with a sensational break down the right, and after a couple of phases, the ball was spun to Jones to dive over on the left before Townsend added a further gloss to the final score-line.
