Tribute Somerset 1

Weston United 36 pts Combe Down 14 pts

If Weston United are going to win this division they are going to have to play a lot better than they did against a robust Combe Down.

After absorbing loads of pressure, Weston full-back Chris Hurd opened the scoring, George Kimmins converting. Weston increased their lead almost immediately through lock Darren Doughty, who got the touchdown after a catch and drive from a stolen line-out by fellow lock Ned Barker.

McCarthy then scored a debut try when Barker and Young found Hurd, who put the left wing over. Outside centre Sam Waterman then crossed before No 8 Gavin Simpson benefitted from a great run by hooker Craig Withers, which led to Young providing the pass for Simpson to cross, Young converting.

The visitors still had time to score their second of the afternoon which was no more than they deserved as Weston maintained their 100 per cent start to the campaign.
