Tribute Somerset 2 S

Morganians 19, Wyvern 15

MORGANIANS marked their ‘old boys reunion’ with an impressive victory over league leaders Wyvern on Saturday, to keep their promotion hopes alive.

The first half started very much in favour of the visitors and Wyvern went into the break 10-0 ahead.

Morgs were very unfortunate in the first half where the last pass didn’t seem to come off and they were not clinical enough in the right areas of the pitch.

Also, they were far too soft around the breakdown, allowing Wyvern to disrupt a lot of their flow.

The Morgs team showed real class and character in second half, with Will Hopkins and Jordan Mein hitting wide forward pods and flashing the ball quickly and efficiently across the back line.

Will Hopkins scored a hat-trick of tries with Jordan Merin converting two.

Wyvern scored a consolation try at the end of the game to give them a deserved losing bonus point.

Following the removal of Ivel Barbarians from the league, Morganians are now in joint first position with Wyvern on 57 points each.
