WILL Croker hailed as "a great advert for Bournemouth Rugby" a stunning score by Robbie Boyd after the try was propelled into the running for a national award.

Boyd finished off a sensational team move in the home win over Lydney in National Three South West earlier this month, the youngster completing the job after Lions had counter-attacked superbly from their own 22.

And now the try is under consideration for the Samsung try-of-the-month award – run in conjunction with England Rugby – which is open to all levels below the Championship.

Eligible tries can be scored by men or women at any age group level, with touch and tag rugby also considered. A current or former England player is tasked with picking the winner and the club concerned receives Samsung products totalling £1,000.

Boyd's try was uploaded to England Rugby's Facebook page on Monday and at the time of writing had been watched more than 84,000 times.

Head coach Croker, whose side thumped Dings Crusaders 47-15 on Saturday, was pleased to see Lions receive attention on a national scale.

He told the Daily Echo: "What's nice about that particular score is the interplay between forwards and backs. We scored another try almost identical to that against Dings and it doesn't happen by accident – the guys work incredibly hard in training.

"There is a lot of rugby played every weekend and to be up for a national award is a nice accolade.

"It's a great advert for Bournemouth Rugby, not just because of the try itself but because you can hear the support and how excited everyone is.

"We've always said we want to play expansive rugby. It suits the players we've got and it's testament to their fitness levels that we are able to play that way."

Lions recovered from a Harry Tovey converted score to lead 8-7 against Dings, with Jack Hennings crossing before Hancox added a penalty.

Sam Hardcastle was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-on and visiting centre Matt Smith duly went over, only for Freddie Gleadowe to respond following good work by Wyn Roberts.

Hancox added the extras and stalwart Hardcastle was restored, with another Hancox penalty making it 18-12 to the hosts at the break.

Roberts took just 34 seconds to cross after the restart and Hancox converted, both teams then being reduced to 14 after Gavin Curry and Mike Treloar were binned.

Scrum-half Steve Plummer kicked a penalty but those were Dings's final points.

Alan Manning, who had been shifted to tighthead prop for the second period, grabbed the bonus-point try which was converted by Hancox.

Sharp acceleration from Hardcastle enabled a further converted score and Hancox made it 200 personal points for the season when he went over in the corner.

The same man added a late penalty to round off the rout.

Lions: Hancox, Everett-Bolter, Gleadowe, Chislett, Roberts, Boyd, Hardcastle, Spikings, Manning, Firetto, Treloar, Kenneally, Hennings, Bennett, Rees. Replacements: Richardson, Stewart, Yeats.
