Rugby: Ramsey win Cheshire Vase opener

Robson and Atchison shine at Prenton

Report by Dave Christian:

Two tries apiece for Nathan Robson and Brandon Atchison provided Ramsey with a springboard to a 52-19 win away at Prenton in their opening Cheshire Vase game.

Prenton took an early lead in the game but Robson’s first soon pulled that back. 

Atchison’s first swiftly followed and with Robson’s conversion Ramsey were 12-7 ahead after twenty minutes. 

Will Millsopp then raced clear to extend the lead - a Josh Corteen try converted by Robson pushed Ramsey further ahead but Prenton struck just before the break to leave the Ramsey lead 24-12.

Early in the second half Robson scampered in for his second - skipper Matt Meechan powered over from a close range maul and Atchison forced himself over the line carrying three defenders. 

Eddie Lord iced the cake with a late try and Robson’s boot had a flawless second half performance kicking all four conversions.

Ramsey travel to New Brighton in October for their next tie.
