Somerset Cup Second Round
Weston-super-Mare 33 Yatton 14
Weston progressed to the third round of the Somerset Cup when they defeated a game Yatton side at the Recreation Ground.
The Seasiders scored two tries in the first half and three in the second but the visitors made a fine contribution to the match, including taking the lead in the 10th minute.
A tap penalty from inside their own 22 produced a splendid try for wing Chris Edwards.
Just before the break David Price scored his first senior try for Weston. Dickson converted again for an interval score of 14-7.
Weston's set scrum got on top in the second half but Yatton's midfield of Sam Osbourne, Mike Harris and skipper Nick Garnham was always dangerous.
But Weston pulled away with tries by Dan Fry, Dickson and replacement David Steele, two of which Dickson majorised.
