Match report
- Brian Dick, The Sunday Mercury
MIKE Ellery revealed a half-time rollicking was the secret behind Moseley’s stunning second period turnaround.
The Red and Blacks went in at the break trailing 14-13 and having seemingly squandered the Billesley slope and wind. But they came out and put in a brilliant performance of controlled forward play that brought them 22 unanswered points.
It also brought a first Championship win of the season and confirmed the promise of the early weeks of Kevin Maggs’ tenure. However, Ellery admits they needed more than an isotonic drink and slice of orange at the break to wake them up.
“We started really well and I don’t think we are used to starting that well so we sat off a bit and let them back in,” the 22-year-old said.
“We got a bit of a telling-off at half-time and came out in the second half a changed team. All of the forwards put their hands up – in the first half we were being lazy, we were just getting hit back.”
That led to three more tries through the pack with Ellery adding to the one he scored in the first half, Dan Sanderson grabbing his first for Mose and Michael Maltman scoring the all important fourth.
Mose can now look forward to next Sunday’s trip to London Scottish with burgeoning confidence.
“It’s relief and jubilation. If we hadn’t won that, it would have been a long old season. But that’s definitely set us up because it was a must win, even only four games in.
“I thought we did alright with the first two, we took three points off two of the best teams in the league. Then last week was a bitter disappointment, so we put a load of pressure on ourselves for this week.”
Mose actually started really well after Esher made a mess receiving the opening kick-off. Ellery bashed over from a third minute ruck, Brad Davies converted and then added sixth minute penalty.
But after Mose haemorrhaged penalties and allowed Esher’s Mike MacFarlane to ride a 12th minute maul across their line. Rob Kirby converted for 10-7. Davies responded with a drop goal only for Perry Parker to score from another catch and drive. Kirby’s extras gave his side an interval lead.
Maggs was not happy and ripped into his players, an outburst that had the desired affect. Just three minutes after the restart Ollie Thomas’ penalty restored Mose’s initiative before Sanderson, Ellery and Maltman struck before Esher’s consolation through replacement Sam Edgerley
