U20s Gloucestershire 38 : Hampshire 12
Gloucestershire got off to a great start with Will Baldwin [Cinderford RFC] scoring the first of his 3 tries 3 mins into the game and Tom Price [Cleve RFC] converting. 2 minutes later Baldwin claimed his second try, unconverted.
Hampshire rallied and scored via MacDonald who also converted his try. 12 minutes into the game Gloucestershire were leading 12 -7 and Hampshire looked like they were here to give as good as they got, but Baldwin wasn’t finished and scored his hat trick on 17 minutes! Halftime saw Gloucestershire leading 17 - 7.
Soon after half time flanker Ben Davies (Royal Agricultural College) got over the line with Price converting another. Hampshire scrum half Burden replied for Hampshire, but Gloucestershire maintained a comfortable lead and with further scores by fullback Bradley Dunn [Spartan's RFC] and a second from Davies and both converted by Price. Gloucestershire ran out easy winners .
The U20s now have two away games in Devon and Cornwall and they are hoping to maintain this positive start:
24th February Devon v Gloucestershire @ Crediton RFC - ko 14:30hrs
17th March Cornwall v Gloucestershire @ St Austell RFC - ko 13:00hrs
Good luck lads!
