Tribute Somerset 2 (S): Wellington 2nd XI 19, Taunton (2nd XV) United 67.
TAUNTON proved too strong for local rivals Wellington who fought right to the end in a fast-flowing and entertaining match.
Wellington started the stronger side and scored a couple of well worked tries after silly errors by Taunton. Taunton soon hit back with young hooker Jamie Grant smashing over from short range, John Fitzsimon scoring two superb tries and winger Craig Goodwin used his pace to score twice.

Centres Hurley and Hollow both got a try each after strong runs and makeshift prop James Springer's hard work paid off with two excellent tries. Rob Cooling pounced on a mistake to go over under the posts while Frenchman Erwan Colleaux kicked a penalty and slotted seven conversions.
TAUNTON 3rd XV entertained a spirited London Japenese side for a friendly match on sunday morning. The touring side, whose side are from Tokyo and are working or at university in London, played with a wonderful spirit spinning the ball wide at all opportunities and producing two brilliant tries for their props.
But Taunton side soon took control and the backs ran riot to give them a 59-15 victory in a great game enjoyed by all. Taunton hope to return the fixture next year in London on a small tour to keep up this new friendship.
