First win for seconds
Nationwide 12pts - Minety 2nd XV 17pts
Minety seconds chalked up their first win of the season with three tries away against Nationwide.
Nationwide proved excellent hosts and lively opponents in this
Sunday friendly down in Swindon. The home team amassed a total of 12
points but Minety outdid them, their first score coming from winger Oli
Bown, who showed excellent pace as he beat all opponents on the run in
for his try.
Lock forward Marco Zuliani got Minety's second, picking up from a ruck
and driving for the line. A successful conversion kick turned this
score into a seven-pointer.
The visitors' final try came from versatile forward Kai Engiel, this
week playing at hooker. Sharp as ever, his sniping run from the base of
a ruck sent him crashing over the try line to secure a well-deserved
win for Minety.
This Saturday, Minety seconds play away in the league against the Devizes third XV.
