HEAD coach Sean Millwaters says it is still too early to reassess Supermarine’s ambitions in Dorset & Wilts One North despite turning in their “best performance of the season”.

Supermarine crushed fellow high-fliers Melksham 37-13 to move up to second in the table.

Millwaters says promotion is not the objective for his side, although that may change should they continue their fine form into 2016.

“It was our best performance of the year. The guys played incredibly well,” said Millwaters.

“This season is very much about rebuilding and we brought in a 17-year-old, Matt Moulton, to play fly-half and he ended up being man of the match.

“Eight of the guys were under the age of 19 and they were all superb.

“We were up against a pretty good Melksham team who had only lost once before Saturday. If you’d said we’d beat a team who were one place below us in the table 37-13 I’d have said: ‘yeah, right’.

“Our aim is to do as well as we can and to try to be in the top four. We are not ready to go up because this team needs a few good years playing senior rugby together.

“But they have done better than we could have hoped and maybe after Christmas we will reassess that.

“We won our first three games and people said we’d walk the league. We lost the next two but to come back and win three in a row is a great response.”

Captain George Cowley opened Supermarine’s try tally on the day before Mike Baptiste followed him over the whitewash.

Owain Hire then got the first of a brace, with a score for Michael Smith sandwiched in between. Moulton added 12 points with the boot.

Millwaters added: “We raced into a 17-0 lead after about 20 minutes. Other than a 15-minute purple patch, Melksham didn’t look like scoring all game.”

Supermarine have no fixture this weekend before returning to face fourth-placed Minety on Saturday, December 5.

“We have got a few injuries so it will be good to have a week off. I think these breaks in the season are good,” said Millwaters.

“Minety beat us in the cup earlier in the season when we played a weakened side. We will be at full-strength next weekend so that will be a good measure of where we are.”
