Classy double from skipper Lynch

Scouts kept their home league record intact with another convincing win against a team fighting to move up from the lower region of the table.
An early penalty from stand-off Adam Frost set the scoreboard ticking but the evenly contested early exchanges saw Vipers equalise after fifteen minutes. Several charges for the line by the visitors pack were well defended by a resolute Scouts defence which prevented the visitors from crossing the line .
Frost missed two penalty opportunities but was then involved in a fluid Scouts movement that eventually resulted in a looped pass out to flanker Iain Simmons who dived into the corner to put Scouts in front for the second time.
The home side began to take charge of the match from this point on. Although Vipers kicked a penalty after a bout of further pressure on the hosts line, Scouts secured the ball straight from the kick off and skipper Russell Lynch scythed through to dot down for Frost to convert.
A wave of attacks followed but a few wayward passes failed to find their targets and the score remained 15 – 6 to Scouts at the break.
Within minutes of the restart the game was virtually over and a bonus point achieved. A Frost penalty rebounded off the upright and, as the Vipers defence seemed to freeze, Tom Major was following up to secure the ball which was fed out for Mark Franklin to race over. A second try followed almost immediately when Lynch sidestepped any attempt to tackle him and Frost added the extras.
Both kickers exchanged penalties and as the game entered the final quarter a combination of injuries and yellow cards resulted in the rest of the game becoming a non-event.
Vipers did score a consolation try with ten minutes remaining when they exploited a one man advantage to go over in the corner but Scouts had the last say when the visitors collapsed a scrum that was destined to score and the referee awarded a penalty try under the sticks which Frost duly converted.
There were promising debuts by youngsters Glyn Roff and Liam Markey as Scouts continue to introduce players into their squad.
Next Saturday Scouts are in Intermediate Cup action at home to Earlsdon from Coventry in what is probably the first time the two sides have met.
