Stothert & Pitt 31 pts

Weston United 14 pts

Weston knew they would be in for a tough afternoon against a side that has occupied a top three position for the majority of the season.

With 10 minutes gone, Stothert raced into an 8-0 lead through an unconverted try and a penalty. This passage of play had the desired effect as Weston went on the attack to score the try of the match.

They managed to recycle the ball from the restart and Adam Godfrey jinked around several Stothert players before passing to flanker Richie Johnston, who scorched away to the try line. Loz Ware added the extras with a fine conversion.

The away side added another seven points to the scoreboard when winger Joe McGrath was on the receiving end of a high tackle and Weston kicked the penalty to the corner. From the line-out, Ware put up a speculative kick that took an awkward bounce and allowed Mitch Salisbury to touch down. Ware added the conversion.

Weston’s poor discipline saw them give away a large number of penalties resulting in the home side kicking two penalties and scoring a converted try.

Weston nearly scored a third try as another fine Godfrey break led to McGrath being tackled near the try line, but it was the home side that led 21-14 at the break.

The second half was tight and there was not much difference between the sides. Stothert scored a converted try from a loose Weston pass and added a late penalty.

A fine cover tackle from winger Benbobson Fondu with the last play of the match prevented Stothert scoring the bonus point.

The back row of Callum Kingscott, Tom Sugg and Richie Johnston were energetic throughout, in particular Johnston who had an outstanding match. Mitch Salisbury played well in the centre and full-back Adam Godfrey always looked dangerous.
