BRIDGWATER & ALBION RFC 28 v TAUNTON 2nd XV 87
DESPITE scoring four tries, Bridgwater suffered their heaviest defeat of the season against their neighbours in Western Counties North over the weekend.
Bridgwater enjoyed a fair share of the play but Taunton were ruthless throughout and capitalised on any errors by the home side.
Albion found themselves 40-11 down at the interval, all their points coming from winger Kyran Devitt who scored a try and two penalties.
Albion continued to battle
Bridgwater continued to battle for every ball in the second half but Taunton snapped up their scoring opportunities and at one stage led 73-11.
But Albion, to their credit, never dropped their heads and scored three tries towards the end – through Johnny Barnes, Gavin Knight, making his 150th appearance for the home side, and Devitt who rounded off the scoring. Devitt also converted one of the tries.
In total Taunton ran in 13 tries during an excellent all-round display.
