Dover U16s continued their fine form with a victory over their Deal Lions rivals with a 31 - 19 away win at their Canada Road ground.

Dover took an early lead with a try from Harry Sayers 0-5, before Deal went into the lead from a McLaughlin try and conversion from Halpin - 7 -5 . Dover then took control with 3 more tries for Harry Sayers, Luke Neville and Kieron Conway-Neame, with 2 conversions from Jarvis Otto and Harry Sayers.

Half Time Score - 7 - 24

In the second half it was a more scrappy affair. Alex Morrison scored for Dover (converted by Jarvis Otto) and 2 tries for Deal (Fisher and McGrath with one conversion from Marroitt).

Dover were put under great pressure towards the end of the game but put in a stirling defence on the line 3 more times, but they were not breached.

Dover now go away on tour to Belgium to take part in Gent International tournament over the Easter weekend.
