Blaydon winning streak come to an end
[match id=116]
Blaydon’s season disappointingly ended exactly as it began, with a thumping defeat at the hands of Loughborough Students. Needing a win to escape the relegation zone the Students dominated from the start and were 21 points clear after just 23 minutes, capitalising on a series of errors by a lacklustre Blaydon side.
Full-back Jack Pons scored their opener when his opposite number Nathan Bailey failed to collect a high ball and then Rhys Owen raced clear when the visitors coughed up possession at a driving maul.
A Freddie Pierrepoint effort from another mistake completed the early scoring with Alex Davis converting all 3 efforts at which point things really went downhill for Blaydon with three key players succumbing to injury before the break.
Skipper Keith Laughlin pulled back 5 points from a catch and drive but much of the half had been one-way traffic for the Students.
Davis was on target with a penalty to make it 24-5 early in the second period but Blaydon gradually got back into it and were rewarded with a second try when they kept possession through several phases before prop forward Robert Morris popped up at outside centre to run in his first score for the club.
Loughborough fittingly had the last word however when the visitors lost the ball on the try line and Davis ran the length of the field to secure a bonus point score just as he had on the opening day at Crow Trees.

Blaydon Bricks v Weymouth IIIs – Sunday 27th April 3pm Kick Off
Blaydon Bricks last home game of the season brings Weymouth IIIs to Crowtrees this afternoon, playing there 2nd game of the tour, first one being Gateshead on Saturday
Bricks go off the boil and let a key one slip away; Blaydon Bricks 25, Ryton IIIs 27
After establishing a 20-5 lead by half time the Bricks went off the boil and allowed Ryton to come back into the game and take the last bragging rights for the season (Blaydon won overall 3 games to 2 for the season) and secure 3rd place in the league. In the end it was a story of ‘benches’ Bricks had two fit and 2 walking wounded and Ryton had a full bench and fresh players made a difference.

Scorers: Lowsey, tbc
This was a game Bricks could and should have won, with missed kicks proving the difference on the day, but the game littered with too many knock ons, not using the support players or not having suppoort when needed.
