Norths’ solo man Ed Timpson has a thirst for scoring tries
By Jon Geddes and Clay Cross
NORTHERN Suburbs backrower Ed Timpson again stamped himself as one of Shute Shield’s brightest new faces following a spectacular solo try in his side’s 60-15 win over the Two Blues at North Sydney Oval on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Englishman capped an eye-catching display with his extraordinary five pointer 28 minutes into the first half when a Two Blues’ restart went just 1m over the halfway line.
A flying Timpson raced forward to grab the ball and sprint away, outpacing the defence to score.
“The ball was going short, it was in the air for a while and I started running to it,” he told Rugby News after the big win.
