Reds feel rivals’ backlash
Tuesday 27th January 2009, 3:23PM GMT.
They may be the only time to beat them this season – but Whitchurch felt the full force of Midlands Two leaders Bromsgrove.
Having registered a 27-19 victory over the same opponents earlier in the season, the Edgeley Park men were beaten 44-0 on Saturday.
Bromsgrove led 15-0 at the interval before extending their advantage after the break.
Whitchurch were not helped by a glut of injuries, with Chris Hares and Danny Nicholas ruled out before the game, and Mark Williams and John Sutcliffe replaced during it.
“It was a lot closer than the scoreline suggested,” said spokesman John Gregory.
Hereford and Sutton Coldfield shared the honours in a 20-20 draw at Walmley.
The Wyesiders had beaten Sutton Coldfield 38-6 earlier in the campaign but had to settle for a point in an evenly fought contest.
Hereford remain in third place in Midlands Two but are seven points adrift of leaders Bromsgrove.
