expected a Bumage onslaught, but that wasn’t to be the case. Skipper Phil Isherwood quoted the


phrase “The best form of defence is attack” during the interval, and this is precisely what the Cavaliers did. They ran the ball 70 metres from the re­


start and Jason Knowles claimed a try. The Cavaliers added a further four tries


in typical tap, run and support style. Knowles scored a hat-trick giving him


five tries in two games - no mean achieve­ ment for a pro p or back row forward.


Iphofen scored his first try for the club, and hooker Mike Chambers took a well-


deserved try. Taylor kicked six conversions. Simon Gretton had a solid game a t full


back and both wingers Whiteside and Chris Stott made some excellent runs. Nick Green and Paul Proctor were as


bullish as ever and burly lock Simon Hall made a splendid sight galloping
