Westbury-on-Severn RFC (24 v 33) Ledbury 2

A murky day at the KB stadium of (not so) light saw Westbury on Severn RFC hosting league leaders Ledbury Rugby Football Club United today.

The game kicked off with WoS supporters being notably outnumbered by Ledbury travelling support….remedied 10 mins in with the incoming WoS late arrivals bolstered by the very welcome Westbury-on-Severn Cricket Club support squad ….

So the scene was set (massive thanks to our vice chairman & on field captain for marking the lines at the last minute) …..

Quote of the day (from a Ledbury supporter) ‘Bloody hell you’ve got a nice set up here’ ….praise indeed - he then went on to say he played at Westbury 20 years ago! …we’ve certainly come on a bit since then!

Onto the game - a tense affair of tat for tat rugby….half time the board sat at 10-7 to the home side with tries for Paul Reddan (sponsored by the Roberts family & Harry George (sponsored by Aaron Morgan) bookending some great performances that saw Digger, Max (sponsored by The Lyon Inn and Rory (sponsored by Forge Motorsport) holding fast with JC making his presence felt disturbing the Ledbury scrum half’s distribution helped on by Harry blasting from 8 … ….

The second half was more of the same attrition was the watch word of the day …

then a mercurial interception from Glyn Bayley (available for sponsorship) who sprinted the length of the field for his first of two in the second half ….sending the crowd wild ….well near wild!

Ledbury who were then riled came back with a couple ….

The game ending 10 minutes early due to ‘the fading sun’ ….a rare sight in Westbury?

Man of the match for Wos was Glyn for his sprint to Northwood green!

A great performance from Westbury lads who well aCheltenham North RFCut ….on on to next weekend where we are at home again to Cheltenham NortWill Lordre of the the sMH Bricklaying Ltdt this
