Colts run in sixteen tries in Minehead demolition

BRIDGWATER Colts extended their winning league run to five matches by a comprehensive 16-try defeat of Minehead on Saturday. Minehead arrived with just 11 players which the home side matched, and within eight minutes Bridgy were 17 points to the good.

The half was really a domination of Minehead through both backs and forwards, and with a Minehead lack of front row was reduced to uncontested five man scrums.

What the visitors lacked in ability they more than made up for in spirit and with just a couple of minutes to half time and a score of 41 - 0, lazy running from Bridgwater allowed Minehead to score an unconverted try.

Bridgy hit back immediately and the half ended at 48 - 5. Bridgwater experimented with player positions throughout the second period with a variety of changes which probably kept the score down.

They still however crossed their opponent's line a further eight times, but annoyingly allowed Minehead in for a second try.

The half continued much as the first period ending in an expected big win for Bridgwater.
