Cleobury 26 pts University of Derby 7
IN front of a big crowd, Cleobury Mortimer kept their dreams of a trip to Twickenham alive with a comfortable win on Saturday. They are now in the final 16 of the Powergen Junior Vase -three matches away from their dream.
They scored four tries and conceded just one as they once again made home advantage pay off, they have been drawn at home in each round so far. Paul Burrows led the way with two tries whilst Colin Todd and Matthew Barnsley grabbed one apiece. Alan Shields converted three of them.
With Worcester Wanderers and Droitwich getting beaten on Saturday, Cleobury are now the only West Mid-lands side to feature in the next round.
Lichfield 18 pts Ludlow 12
Ludlow produced a spirited fight-back in the second half of their clash with Lichfield, but found conceding 15 points in the first 16 minutes too much to overcome.
The home side scored two tries and a penalty as Ludlow started slowly, and held onto the lead until half time. Sustained pressure in the third quarter left Ludlow just three points adrift when Will Norton and Rob Evans scored tries but the home side completed the scoring with a drop-goal.
