Bridgwater & Albion RFC 2nd XV 25 v 21 North Petherton RFC 2nd XV
Bridgwater and Albion RFC Second XV bounced back to winning ways when they beat near neighbours North Petherton in a hard-fought local derby match at College Way on Saturday afternoon.
The Bridgy Boys started strongly and had the better of the play during the first half, leading 15-7 at the break thanks to tries from Aidan Robinson and Mason Shaw one of which Ollie Phillips converted and a Phillips penalty.
Ten minutes into the second half Phillips slotted home another penalty to extend the home side’s lead.
Pethy fought back
However, the Pethy lads were far from done and fought back to lead 18-21 with 20 minutes remaining.
This set up an exciting finish to the match and with just a few minutes left super sub George Burton Shaw went over for try in his first game back after 14 months through injury which Phillips duly converted
Second XV manager Brendon Goddard said afterwards: “What a game of rugby by this great team, and there is more to come. A good crowd was in attendance who were kept entertained throughout the game”.
The Second XV’s next game is in two weeks when they travel away to play at Tor on the 23rd of November.
