Tribute South West One West

North Petherton 23, Matson 28

NORTH Petherton slumped to a shock 28-23 defeat at home to struggling Matson on Saturday.

The defeat sees Pethy slip to seventh place in South West One West following a fifth defeat of the season.

Before Saturday’s game, Matson had been bottom of the pile, but the Gloucestershire outfit put in an impressive performance to take the points.

Pethy travel to St Austell on Saturday in the final league game of 2015, hoping to bounce back from last weekend’s reverse.
