BURNHAM were dealt a hefty blow in the New Year when they took on Division Two leaders Crewkerne.

It was clear from the kick off that Crewkerne were a comprehensive unit they were very fluent between the two divisions of backs and forwards and were quick to exploit the deficiencies in the Burnham side.

Burnham paid too much respect to the home side and allowed them to dictate the pace of play.

In the passages of play where Burnham got it together some really concentrated effort came out Chris Lee and Will Conway who continually penetrated into the home sides defence.

The side did not roll over and retained a high level of interaction right up to the final whistle.

A spokesman for the team said that they are still capable of finishing in the upper echelons of the league that in its self is high tribute coming up in their first season on promotion.

This Saturday, the team are at home to Martock.
