As early as the wandering out to the pitch there were early contenders for DOTD (dick of the day). Now that we have the drainage on the front pitch's we don't need to wander the back roads to Ocean field. Well most of us don't, Mr Newton, JFK and Mr Challinor's old grey cells did not compute and started to wander of down the path to oblivion until somebody under the age of 30 fetched them back like a carer on an OAP's (old aged Players) day out !

Getting back to the game, Wirral seemed to have a slight advantage. Well when I mean slight, I should have said we had the Franklin and Gee team in tow ! Although we got off to a good start with lots of pressure, the defensive dam finally collapsed after 10 mins. Luke Gee nipped in, well not nipped in but burnt the grass on his way to the first score, duly converted by the ever youthful Proudy. Well that was it. The next 30 minutes was carnage. Gee duly completed his hat-trick before half time scoreing tries either side of Franklin. Young Proudy even managed a drop goal before half time, unheard of at this level. I would at this point try and list the scorers in order but DOTD (Dick of the Day) rears it ugly head. After some excellent work by the piano shifters forwards) Young Styles kicked through, Oxton, not bothering to chase got their sniper out. Styles only had to stop, pick up ball, run 5 yards and fall over to score. Unfortunately Styles who resides from Neston seemed to get the sequence all wrong. Running 5 yards, falling down knocking ball on, well you know the rest ! NUMPTY. As I said the flood gates opened, by half time the score was 54 - 0. This might look one sided but Parkonians were just unlucky with the bounce of the ball. Every time the ball was lost, dropped, or knocked on Wirrals team of backs pounced and punished them. As I said the final score of 95 - 0 does not reflect the hard work put in by a hastly arranged team. I'm sure that through the season, they will enjoy the luck of the bounce as we did today. In all we had three players scoring hat tricks with four others getting one apiece.

Scorers:-
Tom Franklin 4 tries
Luke Gee 3 tries
Vinny Turner 3 tries
Rob Tyson 1 try
James Spencer 1 try
Nick Styles (eventually) 1 try
Savo 1 try.
Vinny also added 5 conversions
Styles added a further 3 conversions
with Proudy getting 3 Conversions and a drop goal.

The Win sent us to the top ahead of unbeaten Prenton.
