Brief report

Hull Ionians are still searching for their first points of the season as they were beaten by Blackheath at Well Hall.
Henry Staff’s fourth-minute try was added to by Jake Lloyd, Freddie Owen and Mike Perks as Club led 24-12 at the break, with Jack Colbourne and Tom Peters both crossing for Hull Ionians.
With the new half back pairing of Joe Green and Max Tichner looks promising, Ionians weren’t out of the game at the interval, but Blackheath made sure any hopes of a revival by the visitors, was snuffed out, as Freddie Gabbitas slotted two penalties before Ben Ransom crossed the whitewash.
Josh Pearce scored Ionians’ third try of the afternoon, as they pushed hard for a bonus-point a handling error gave possession away for the final score to go to Blackheath as Craig Dowsett charged over to seal Club’s third win of the season.
The Ionians back line battled hard but despite the efforts of James Tincknell and Tony Kuku, struggled to cope with the pace of the Blackheath backs whilst in the pack there were good performances from all, with James Sanderson to the fore in defence. Ionians made up for deficiencies in the line-out with some excellent driving play, Bell, Mewburn, Torkington and Rahat again impressed.
