A closely fought game with both sets of forwards dominating for long periods it was ultimately Roth’s pack that provided the platform for some neat back play and a couple of decent individual tries. Roth went into half time 10 – 7 up after playing into the wind in the first half through Saddington’s first try and a conversion and penalty from Tom Jenkinson. The second half began with a sustained period of pressure from the visitors which Roth weathered and then two tries from their in form centre and a conversion secured the win. Whilst not their best performance of the season by any stretch Roth can be pleased with securing a decent league win. Full Time: Rotherham 22-7 Marist Rotherham Phoenix: 15 J. Ross, 14 M.
