Tribute Somerset 2 North

Weston Athletic 17 Hornets 3rdXV 19 

Weston Athletic had to settle for a losing bonus point from their Friday night derby clash with Hornets 3rdXV after the sides went into the break on level terms – one try apiece – but the home side suffered a major setback early in the second half.

The visitors took the lead but a try from flanker Tom Burge, three minutes before half time, cancelled that out. But Alex Humphrey was sent to the sin-bin, followed quickly by Charlie Owens being shown yellow, leaving Weston United will 13 players on the pitch.

Humphrey crossed for United's second try, converted by Dan Beer, only for Hornets 3rdXV with two tries and a conversion for a 19-12 lead going into the final quarter. Humphrey crossed for his second try four minutes from time.
