The dam breaks
Calne 2nd XV 22pts - Minety 2nd XV 0pts
An understrength Minety seconds held their line for 50 minutes but eventually gave way before a superior Calne pack.
Weakened by injures and absences, especially among the forwards,
Minety seconds managed to hold Calne nil-all in the first half,
although skipper Pete Hazell was forced to leave the field before the
break with torn ankle ligaments.
The dam finally broke 10 minutes into the second half, when fullback
Andy Cook appeared to have safely touched down a Calne kick ahead. The
referee allowed play to continue, however, and when a Calne player
reached the ball, a try was given.
After that, the home team grew in confidence as the visitors tired.
Calne ran in three more tries, the last converted, to win by a
comfortable margin.
