HARWICH and Dovercourt Rugby Club’s Shane Manning believes his side can give any team a run for their money this season.

The club’s head coach was more than happy after kicking-off the new Eastern Counties League division two season with a 36-7 victory against Brightlingsea.

“Overall I was very pleased,” he said.

“We dominated every part of the game and created lots of chances.

“As long as we can take those opportunities and convert them into points, we’ll give any team in this league a good game.

“We now need to focus on (tomorrow’s opponents) Thorpness away and make sure we keep improving.”
