Essex champions visit the Manor

Southend RFC visited the EM today for the penultimate league game of the season . The first 15 minutes saw an indisciplined SE concede half dozen penalties to EM, who could not convert the pressure to points. SE then proceeded to score 3 tries through excellent movement of the ball out wide in the remainder of the first half.19-0 at half time. SE continued to pile on the points in the second half . Tries were scored freely through a tiring EM defense with the SE No. 10 having a particularly good game with the ball in hand and off the tee.EM tried hard but could not match the drive and physicality of SE. Final score 56-0 to SE.
