Calne's newly reformed second team earned their first victory of the season through an heroic defensive effort in a scoreless last quarter.

Playing down the slop in the first half Darren Penny opened the scoring with a fine solo run.

New recruit, Craig Hurcombe, opened his account with the club shortly afterwards finishing off some very positive play from the three-quarters.

The extras were added and Calne looked comfortable.

College hit back in fine style. After working their way up the pitch, they released their back line.

Their bulky inside centre did the damage as he broke a number of tackles on his way to the try line. Rallied by their error Calne struck back but full 15 man effort was required to get in to the danger zone.

Winger Alan Henley came off his left flank, joining play mid-field and broke one tackle. Just as he looked to have escaped the last line of defence he off loaded in the last ditch tackle.

Despite being nearly intercepted, Henley's pass found Hurcombe and the new boy picked up his second try of the day.

Both sides rang the changes at half time. But soon after play restarted veteran Rich Kearney broke free for a full 50 metre run to score between the posts. Prop Mick Dyer casually added the extras by means of a drop goal.

Despite the good win Calne's second team still needs to attract a number of new players to ensure its continued existence.
