Rugby Union: Hull Ionians 35, West Park 19
Jan 28 2008 by Ron Roby, Liverpool Daily Post
THE Merseysiders returned home bemoaning their loss of composure in the last quarter of the game following the sin-binning of lock forward Alan Marsh.
At that point Park held a 19-15 lead, but the floodgates opened in the last 15 minutes with the visitors conceding four tries.
West Park started well enough when fly-half Rob Hitchmough dummied his way over the line for Andy Soutar to add the extras. Ionians responded quickly to level with a converted touchdown. Park recaptured the lead through a converted try from Soutar after some good handling.
Hull reduced the deficit with another try before the interval.
The home side led again with a penalty but once again a good drive by the visitors’ pack enabled Soutar to scamper over near the corner. But from then on Park lost ground to concede a league double.
