Camelot KO Kiwis
Camelot edged a narrow 28-27 victory at home to London New Zealand on Saturday.
The visitors took a three-point lead after four minutes with a penalty before Camelot launched a series of advances into the opposition 22.
The home side won a lineout before converting a penalty of their own.
George Adams then raced through to score a try which fly-half Richard Woodard converted to give Camelot a 7-3 lead after 11 minutes.
The visitors then turned the match around to go into a 7-15 lead but on 27 minutes Camelot fought back to make the score 14-15 before half-time.
Minutes into the second half, fullback Carl Buckingham sprinted through to score a try, which centre Ray Adde converted. Their efforts regained the lead for the hosts and took the score to 21-15. But London New Zealand hit back again minutes later to make it 21-20.
Camelot launched into attack immediately from the restart, and broke into the opposition 22 with Craig Bailey. The forwards stormed up in support and set up a ruck near the tryline, taking them deep into the opposition half.
Darren Perry crashed through the away side's defence to score a try, which was converted by Woodard to increase the advantage to 28-20.
Although the visitors broke through to reduce the arrears again to 28-27 with 10 minutes remaining, it was the home side which looked like increasing their lead further as the final whistle blew.
Camelot are now clear of the five teams below them in the table.
Their next league match is away to London Nigerians.
Green sets up the maul.
