Minety 2nd XV v Bath Saracens

Dorset & Wilts Division 2 North
Storming performance from the Seconds
Minety 2nd XV 22pts – Bath Saracens 0pts
Adapting well to the atrocious conditions, Minety seconds comprehensively beat visitors Bath Saracens, keeping a clean sheet for the first time this season.

Kicking sensibly for territory, Minety dominated the second half.
Following an attacking five metre scrum, inside centre Pete Thornton burst onto the ball at great pace and on an angle that completely wrong-footed the defence. Fullback Andy Edwards added the conversion to his well worked try and then kicked a penalty goal when Saracens subsequently infringed.
The visitors showed no lack of determination, but Minety’s no-nonsense

Bath Saracens threw everything into a last ditch attempt to get some a try but Minety held their nerve, turned over the ball and cleared their lines.
This Saturday, Minety seconds are due to travel to Weymouth to contest the semi-final of the Dorset and Wilts 2nd XV Shield.
