​Wheatley RUFC gave Witney a rugby lesson as they beat Fellow BBO 4 North 37-5 to advance up the league table.


It was a dominant display from Wheatley as Archie Van Dijk scored twice Spencer Bailey, Michale Ridge, Joe Hyde and Aaron Layman also went over the whitewash.
Laman also kicked 2 conversions and a penalty to help the men in purple to a thumping success as Witney were made to look ordinary at Holton Playing Fields.

Witney's only points came from a try from the witness outside centre, but the visitors well and truly beaten by the time he crossed over.

Wheatley were ahead after 10 minutes when their pack worked hard from a line out and Joe Hyde drove over from short range and things then went from bad to worse for Witney after a great break from Aaron Layman after an interception set up an easy kick under the posts.


Aaron Laman cool interception sees him clear under the posts

Aaron Laman added further pressure with a penalty just after the half hour mark, Spencer Bailey broke after a short period of attacking play, crossing the line to score.

The second half appeared to have been going the same Archie Van Dijk seemed to have spurned an opportunity , but the slippery Dutch wing cut back inside to force his way through a wall of defenders to open his account. Aaron Laman added the conversion from out wide.

Witney were offered a life line with Michael Ridge yellow carded for persistent high tackling as this began a series of penalties allowing the visitors to enter the 22, with the outside centre able to go over for a try


Lawrence Watts on the Charge

Hopes of Witney staging a comeback ended soon after when Ridge, who was fresh after his 10 minute rest period, was able to crash over after some fie interplay from the supporting backs.

Wheatley continues to press the Witney backline and with quick ball were able to feed Russell Neal who spread the ball wide to Spencer Bailey he intern put in a neat miss pass to allow Van Dijk to get his brace.
