Somerset Premier

Taunton Warriors 25 Winscombe 24

This rearranged fixture was played in near perfect conditions and when Winscombe gifted an early try for Stuart Heal, things were looking good.

The pack scrummaged well; Josh Court, Ted Edwards and Sam Adcock formed an awesome front row, and in the lineout, James Newsum and Rory Stone secured some excellent ball.

Heal slotted a three penalties in the first half, before Andy England finished off a move started by James Newsum. England spotted a gap close to the line and went straight through the ruck to score.

The second half was more of the same - some strong running by the backs opened up space but Winscombe were very organised in defence and hard to crack.

Heal added a couple more penalties to pull further in front, but Winscombe just kept on coming and got to within a point.

The second row enforcer, Andy England and Rory Stone were working overtime, driving players back at full force as the Warriors held on for an epic win.
