Harrogate had no answer.(23/09/07)
I's travelled to Harrogate without key players no 7 Casson and stand off Hammersley. The strong pack was rearranged and the versatile Torkington stepped in at 10.
They started the game confidently and sharp passing through the backs made good use of the ball the forwards were producing. Bainbridge blazing down the wing to score twice.
Will Heylings made it 3 before half time and Ionians went in to the break with a 17 0 lead.
Harrogate started the second half strongly and although their backs were neutralised on each occassion they tried to run, their forwards maintained the pressure.
A try by prop Jordan Help and a break away try by Heylings eased the pressure although Harrogate squeezed over the line for 5 points mid way through the half.
Ionians finished with a trademark score in the corner after several phases of play by the forwards produced clean ball which was deftly moved through the back line to open the door for Heylings once again.
Overall an excellent performance.
