Regnard knee injury mars eight-try revenge romp
AFTER a dominant second-half away performance sealed another victory, Jordan Reynolds remains confident of a perfect end to the season for Guernsey.
The Sarnians turned a 19-13 half-time advantage at CS Rugby, in National Three London & South-East, into a 50-13 success with 31 unanswered points after the break.
But despite scoring eight tries courtesy of eight different players, with five of them converted by the boot of Sam Whitehead, GRFC head coach Reynolds admitted it was not as one-sided as the scoreline suggests.
'It was actually a really competitive game of rugby, with both teams looking to play an expansive game throughout,' he said.
Teenage debutant Taylor Quate completed the try scoring for Guernsey in a late cameo off the bench, running in from deep inside his own half.
He added to earlier efforts from Tom Ceillam, Lewis Hillier, Robin Le Cocq, Nick Barton, Ben McDougall, Jason Batiste and Whitehead, the latter finished with 15 points.
There was some bad news for Reynolds, though, with Jim Regnard believed to have snapped his medial knee ligaments early in the second half, which will rule him out for the season.
However, Reynolds remains confident that his side can consolidate their sixth-place position and potentially climb further up the final table, with Bury St Edmunds six points above them.
