Western Counties North

Keynsham 50

DRYBROOK are now rooted firmly to the bottom of the league after another disappointing display.

Both teams showed some early adventure with Keynsham taking the lead with a 15th minute penalty.

Keynsham controlled possession and scored on the overlap after some quick recycling.

Drybrook faired better at the scrums than of late, but their inability to secure any decent line-out ball cost them dear.

Drybrook's defence buckled on 20 minutes, with Keynsham adding two further tries for a 23-0 lead at the interval.

Two more tries followed inside eight minutes of the restart. Things got worse for Drybrook when skipper Lee Ward was sent off following a flare up.

Keynsham scored a simple pushover try and a cricket score looked on the cards.

Somehow, Drybrook dug deep and although Keynsham scored another try to go 47-0 up, the next 20 minutes belonged to the visitors.

Unfortunately Drybrook were unable to turn pressure into points and Keynsham racked up their half century with a last-gasp penalty.

Drybrook: Tom Roach, Gareth Jones, Alex Lloyd, Aiden Price, Sam Peaper, Aaron Ryder, Tom Treherne, Steve Virgo, Dean Jelf, Tony Suter, Mitch Browning, Liam Jackson, Lee Ward (capt), Mitch Bourne, Ashley Nelmes. Reps: Dean Large, Mike Davies, Chris Rawlings.

DRYBROOK United lost 38-15 to Lydney United under floodlights at The Mannings on Friday night.

Drybrook held a slight advantage in the forwards, but a sharp and determined Lydney back-line outclassed the home three-quarters.

Lydney led 14-9 at half-time, with two Drybrook players and one from Lydney getting sin-binned.

Lydney gradually took control of a much better second-half to emerge deserved victors.

For Drybrook, outside-half Andy Milner kept his side in it with a fine display of line kicking and a 15 point haul, courtesy of five penalty goals.

Drybrook Extras went without a game this week because Hucclecote A were unable to raise a team.
