Goole RUFC vs Spartans RFC RFU Junior Vase Final

Goole RUFC were crowned RFU Junior Vase champions in their first national final after a thrilling 31-24 win over Spartans RFC at Twickenham. It was a frantic start with both teams attacking before Spartans full back Ashley Lewis picked a superb line after five minutes, spinting over the line from 10 metres out to score the first try of the game. Lewis converted his own try to make it 7-0 and from the restart Goole were struggling to get out of their own half. Fly-half Aaron Fawke pulled the strings for Spartans, finding space out wide for the Gloucester side. A break from Goole’s Thomas Halliday down the left wing brought the Yorkshire side into Spartans’ half for the first time and when a Fowke's attempted cross-field kick didn't hit its target 14 minutes in, Halliday pounced, picking the ball up on the half way line and sprinting all the way in. Rhys Moore converted to bring the score level. The try brought Goole back into the game and when the ball fell to winger Richard Barrass 20 minutes in, the 23-year-old showed a moment of magic to chip over his opposite man and then won the race to touch down. Moore once again converted to make it 14-7. Both teams continued to spread the ball wide in attack with a brilliant pass from Fowke giving Patrick Knight the chance to sprint 50 metres up the pitch, offloading to Lewis who was bundled into touch. With eight minutes left in the half, scrum half Tom Broady pulled off a sensational pass out the back to winger Knight who dived over the line. Lewis converted once again to bring it to 14-14. From the restart Goole full back Daniel Holt was penalised for holding onto the ball giving Lewis the chance to put Spartans three points ahead but shifted it wide to keep the scores equal. It was Broady who made the difference once again with two minutes remaining, sneaking over in the corner just before half-time to put Goole back in the lead. The conversion was missed leaving it 19-14 at the break. Goole gather momentum Goole immediately got the upper hand in the second half with prop Kyle Hall touching down four minutes in after a grubber through wasn’t collected by Spartans. Moore, whose dad Darren had been replaced by James Walton, converted Hall’s try giving his team a 21-19 lead. Goole continued to press, taking advantage of a Spartans side who looked like they were quickly tiring. Replacement Thomas Barker, who had come on for try scorer Richard Barrass, showed great footwork to go round three players and score in corner with his first touch of the ball. The conversion was missed giving them a 26-19 lead and they continued to look for another try, immediately breaking free from the restart. Spartans were clinging on, camped out on their own try line. And when fly-half Webb managed to beat a tackle he was able to offload to Halliday who scored his second try in the corner after 65 minutes. The conversion was missed making the score 31-19 and Goole were very much in the ascendency. But Spartans weren’t out of it yet. Ashley Lewis, who has one of the stand out players during the match, got the ball out wide and fended off Halliday to touch down in the corner. The attempted conversion hit the post meaning Spartans trailed 24-31. Goole’s number eight Matthew Taylor had the chance to effectively win the match with 10 minutes to go but was held up over the line by a desperate Spartans defence. Goole continued to search for the try that would put them out of reach and it looked like they had done it when Halliday almost completed a hat-trick with an astounding dive over the line but had put a foot in touch. With five minutes left on the clock, Spartans mounted a final attack but were kept at bay by Goole who stayed well organised in defence. And as the clock counted down, Goole kicked the ball about to wild celebrations amongst the players and fans after what proved to be a thrilling national final. (Source: England Rugby website)
