Gloucester Rout Newcastle Falcons 54-14 in Lopsided Encounter
Gloucester Dominate with Eight-Try Display
Gloucester, 23 April 2023 – In a dominant display, Gloucester thrashed Newcastle Falcons 54-14 at Kingsholm, consigning the visitors to a winless season. The home side scored eight tries through Zach Mercer, Chris Harris, Charlie Atkinson, Olli Thornley, Sebastian Blake, Jonny May, Alex Hearle and Josh Hathaway, with Caolan Englefield converting five.
“For Newcastle, only Jamie Blamire and Matias Moroni managed tries, with Brett Connon kicking both conversions in a disappointing end to their campaign.”
Gloucester’s Blistering Start Seals Victory
Gloucester made a blistering start, with Mercer and Harris dotting down early on. Atkinson then scored a third try before Blamire responded for the Falcons. But Thornley’s bonus-point score and Moroni’s effort left the hosts 26-14 up at the break.
After the restart, Blake, May, Hearle and Hathaway crossed the whitewash to seal an emphatic victory for Gloucester, who will now prepare for next week’s European Challenge Cup final against Sale Sharks.
The result sees Gloucester consolidate their position in the Gallagher Premiership, while Newcastle’s winless season is confirmed.
