Newbury 18 - Salisbury 14
This was always going to be a tough encounter with both teams seeking points to drag them clear of the relegation battle and the visitors were not helped by the late arrival of scrum half Matt Dodkins who suffered a puncture on his way to Newbury. Will Murley moved from the centre into the number nine shirt and, although new to the role, produced a very impressive and tidy performance. He was helped by the forwards producing clean and quick ball for the first period enabling him to set the back line moving.
