WESTON 53 ptsWINSCOMBE 13 ptsWESTON moved comfortably into the final of the Somerset Cup when they defeated Winscombe with a try count of eight to one at Yatton.Weston started at speed with breaks by Dan Fry and Sean Bennett and they were ahead in the 11th minute with Chris Young's penalty, but four minutes later, Winscombe took the lead. A half-break by George House was well supported by Owen Howell and Matthew Drew and Anthony Gregory scored at the posts. Howell converted, but a yellow card to Mike Vowles did Winscombe no favours and Fry scored from a penalty scrum.Young's conversion gave the advantage back to Weston and Fry's second try soon followed after a long run by Chris Crichton. Howell then brought the score back to 15-7 with a well-struck 47-metre penalty, but Sean Bennett replied when he took full advantage of an error from Ross Bennett's kick ahead.A try by Kirk Middlemiss took Weston into the break at 25-10, but Winscombe were unfortunate to lose House through injury two minutes into the second half. After Young converted a try by Kevin Hobbs, Howell kicked his second penalty to reduce Winscombe's arrears, but Sean Bennett soon scored again with Young's third conversion taking the score to 39-13.Crichton's brace of tries, in the 65th and 77th minutes, both converted by Young, ended the scoring, but Winscombe were still going at the end with Drew just failing to beat Crichton at the right corner and Andrew Ball losing possession over the Weston line.Weston will meet Bristol Harlequins in the final, with the date and venue to be announced in due course.Weston: C Crichton (H Warman 6-11); K Middlemiss (H Warman 49), D Sanft, S Bennett, P Sprague (J Reid 63); C Young (P Sprague 72-75), R Bennett; D Price (J Gallagher 59), D Burge (capt), S Williams (N Lavender 69), J Harris (D Cook 49), A Russell, E Smith, K Hobbs (D Steele 69), D Fry.Winscombe: A Gregory; R Suik, O Howell, M Drew, J Flower; G House, L Hooper; I Robinson, D Fryer, A Scrase, D Parfitt, W Foster, W Taylor, A Ball (capt), M Vowles.
