Sean Cochrane grabbed a hat-trick of tries as Pegasus beat Rayleigh 31-12 in the Eastern Counties Four rugby union derby.

The centre opened his account after the ball had been shipped along the Pegasus line early on, and then made it two after a pass from Ruari Robertson. Glenn Matthew converted to make the score 12-0.

Clearly inspired by his team-mate, Robertson then caught the ball in his own half and streaked down the pitch to make the score 17-0 at half-time.

The second half saw a quick try and conversion from Matthews before Rayleigh rallied with a couple of tries and a conversion.

But Pegasus still had a score left in them and it was that man Cochrane who put the ball over the line to make the final score 31-12.
