Tewkesbury 29 Frampton 16

Both teams had a lively start but Tewkesbury's continued selection of their young set of forwards has started to show dividends.  Playing with more confidence they dominated at the scrum leading to a quick ball from scrum half James Hartland who passed out to Anthony Richards to score.

 

A long range penalty from Frampton kept them in the game.

 

Tewkesbury soon followed up with a Richards's penalty to lead 8-3.

 

On his return to Tewkesbury's 1st XV Paul Baker received a ball from another strong Tewkesbury scrum breaking through the Frampton defence to score,

13-3.

 

Frampton fought back with a converted try of their own but a further penalty from Richards gave Tewkesbury a half time lead of 16-10.

 

Frampton Cottrell contested strongly at the restart rewarded by two penalties converted by their No 10 to equal the score at 16-16.

 

Tewkesbury continued their dominance at the scrum consistently driving Frampton back giving them two more penalties converted by Richards 22-16.

 

With 10 minutes left in the game a kick ahead by Paul Baker was followed up by James Hartland to score a converted try taking the final score to 29-16 earning Tewkesbury a well deserved victory.

 

Next Saturday Tewkesbury travel to Longlevens
