Conversions - Sam Waters (4)

SRFC U15s welcomed Devizes RFC to Salisbury for the 3rd of their 6 Dorset & Wilts Cup Pool matches. Following back to back wins against North Dorset and Trowbridge, Salisbury were in confident mood. The team and crowd observed a 2 minutes silence to mark Armistice Day SRFC elected to receive the KO.

Despite an (uncharacteristically)  good warm-up SRFC were still in the stalls at KO and knocked on, setting the tone for the opening 10 minutes. Devizes drove deep into the 22 and were awarded a penalty which they duly converted. Salisbury rallied and Jon Kenyon went over after chasing a good, accurate kick through by Alexander Bairstow who had just made a try saving tackle at the other end. Sam Waters added a good conversion to make it 7-3 to SRFC. Unfortunately further pressure from Devizes, and poor discipline at the breakdown, was rewarded with a penalty try for Devizes to take a 3 point lead. Eventually Salisbury woke up and Carlos K crashed over the line followed by a penalty try of our own for an off the ball tackle. SRFC were up and running and went into the break 19-10 up.
