MARK Solomon did his Jonah Lomu impersonation by scoring three tries in DeA's 32-9 victory against AMI Aberdeen in a First Division rugby union league encounter at Tai Hang Tung yesterday.

The big wing was in fine form with his blockbusting efforts, scattering the opposition all over the park as they vainly tried to stop him.

DeA finished with five tries - the other two being scored by captain Wiremu Maunsell and substitute winger Jonathan Ho - as they romped to an easy win against struggling Aberdeen.

Facing problems in the front row, Aberdeen came up with a makeshift one yesterday. Hooker Sean Moore and props Pat Donovan and Alistair Broach answered the call and hung on grimly for the duration of the match.

At least, they were competitive, giving their side some degree of solidity in the set pieces.

'It was a super performance from them. If one of them had got injured we would have been forced to ask for no-push scrums,' said Aberdeen captain Jarrad Gallagher.
