Bury St Edmunds 14 – 42 Rosslyn Park
31/10/26
Rosslyn Park returned from Suffolk with a convincing 42-14 victory over Bury St Edmunds, with Charlie Coe and Ewan Fenley both scoring braces.
Park dominated the opening 20 minutes but struggled to break down a resolute Bury defence. Charlie Coe eventually opened the scoring with a well-taken try before an excellent piece of skill from Rory Jennings set him up for his second. Jake Cleet then crossed just before half-time, with Jennings converting all three tries to give the visitors a healthy advantage at the break.
Park continued their momentum after the restart, with Conor Byrne weaving his way over for the visitors’ fourth try. Bury responded through Matt Hicks, who crashed over from a well-worked maul, with Ben Penfold adding the conversion.
However, Park quickly restored their advantage as Ewan Fenley crossed for the first of his two tries. Bury’s Clark Macfarlane then produced a moment of individual brilliance to score a superb converted try, giving the home side a glimmer of hope.
Fenley soon put an end to any hopes of a comeback, completing his brace before taking advantage of a quick tap penalty to cross for his third. Jennings added the extras to round off a successful afternoon for Park.
