THE Red and Greens rounded off their league season with an impressive 50-7 victory over Paviors.

The omens were not good for Paviors early on as their attempted kick-off failed to travel the required ten metres and Rasen opted for the centre-field scrummage.

Rasen remained on the front foot, as a delicate chip from fly-half Jake Goodison was gathered by skipper Dave Starling, who released Nick Harvey on the ten-metre line.

And the winger scorched in under the uprights to leave full-back Matt Sutton with an easy conversion.

Paviors looked to be recovering from their early set-back, until lock Ben Fawcett was harshly sin-binned for kicking the ball away just as the referee blew for a penalty in the 17th minute.

This was the cue for the usual Red and Green routine, which was performed with ruthless efficiency to enable prop Chris Starling to go over, with Sutton again adding the conversion.

Imposing prop Ollie Cole then brushed aside a host of hapless defenders to cross over the line.

From the restart, Cole was back in action as he fielded the kick and charged through the Paviors defence before the ball was released to Adam Beasley, who motored in under the posts to secure a bonus point.

Another Sutton conversion quickly followed to put Rasen in a commanding position.

With the half drawing to a close, the hosts mounted another attack as lock Chris Mills drove the ball on before making a superlative one-handed pass, out of the tackle, to put Robinson in at the corner, giving Rasen a 31- 0 lead at the interval.

Seven minutes after the restart, Paviors number eight Nathan Eggleshaw forced himself over the line for the visitors' opening try.

But ten minutes later, the mayhem began as first Leigh Dearden received a yellow card, before the simultaneous ejection of Mills and Goodison left Rasen with 12 players on the pitch.

However, Paviors could not take advantage and shortly after Dearden returned, Sutton made a superb break to pierce the visiting defence and cross the line.

Substitute prop Matt Ashton took possession of Paviors' kick-off and ran 50 metres for a stunning try.

And the Red and Greens underlined their superiority with the final play of the game – scrum-half Jack Noquet snook through a gap for the game's last try.
