Bridgwater & Albion II 5, Hornets II 20

BRIDGWATER & Albion slumped to defeat at the hands of Hornets on Saturday.

Hornets took the lead on 20 minutes when the full back gathered a loose kick to run the length of the field and added a second shortly after to take a 12-0 half-time lead.

The visitors extended their lead with a penalty but Albion hit back with a try through James Kerry.

Hornets rounded off proceedings with a try from a cross-field kick.

Albion will feel that some very weak tackling at times contributed to their downfall against a team of a much higher standard than those they have played recently.

Team – Brakes, Barnett, House, Basson, Kerry, Smith, Hill, Marsh, Norman, Woolford, Stradling (Capt), Burtenshaw, Sluman, Webb, Steward. Reps: (used) Lipscomb, Sturdy; (unused) Badger.
