Horsham Lions host Shoreham

Shoreham Rugby Club made the short journey to Coolhurst in a League fixture which was in doubt it would proceed, due to the arctic conditions earlier in the week. But alas, Saturdays thaw out saw the fixture go ahead, much to every ones relief.
The Lions needed to carry on their campaign for the league, with Shoreham 1st XV not having a game this weekend, Horsham were certain there would be one or two ringers in the visiting side. They took to the field with a up beat and positive attitude.
The Lions struck first with a penalty easily taken by Jo Wilde, which was followed by 2 identical tries from Alex Ickringell in bottom left corner. A simple hands down the back line for winger to finish. Nice.
Matt Stone at Hooker , won the scrummage against the head, the 8 broke left fed Hoskins at 9, yet again the winger took his third try of the day! Two more tries came from Ickringell, taking his tally of the day to five! Not to be out done, Shoreham replied with a try, catching Horsham sleeping and crossing under the posts.
The Lions decided to get back to work, with Alex Brew crossing for a try, and Scott Price adding one as well. Taking the final score to 42-11 to the Lions!
Unfortunatly, Hoskins and Price had to leave the field early due to nasty leg injuries. We wish them a speedy recovery.
A solid performance from everyone involved.
This weekend the Lions travel the long distance to Barns Green for more league action.
