Ipswich Rhinos Rugby League Club

...MATCH REPORT...

RUGBY LEAGUE CONFERENCE

MAY 25th 2002
ST ALBANS 36 - IPSWICH 28

Ipswich went down to an hard working St Albans side in Hertfordshire on Saturday but can be well pleased with their efforts. A committment to training this Wednesday was made by 90 per cent of the team at St Albans which will enable selection to take place straight after the session at Ipswich on Wednesday.

The unexpected return of Steve Gleeson after a season away in Australia was a boost to the squad. Mike Reeves and Brendan Cooke were closely watched by a Conference Lionhearts selector and both are likely to receive invitation papers and find themselves in the England training squad for the upcoming national representative fixtures in June, July and September. There were tries for Paul Le Marquand, Chik Knox Macaulay, Mike Reeves and Brendan Cook with debut maker Tavela Kwiimbi scoring two well taking tries and Reeves adding two goals.

Ipswich are looking to carry the momentum gained into training and onward to Saturdays Derby clash with Cambridge at Humber Doucy Lane Ipswich.

IPSWICH: Paul Le Marquand, Tavela Kwilimbi, Ryan Wood, Chris Morley, Mike Reeves, Paul Thurston, Paul Roberts, Tom Aylott, Andy Wilson, Lee Haylock, James Gregory, Brendan Cook, Adrian Evans and Steve Gleeson.
