Drybrook 1st XV Match Report

16th December - Gloucestershire Premier League

  Frampton Cotterell 12pts  Drybrook 22pts
 
Brothers Craig and Carl Moore were the inspiration behind Drybrook’s latest victory with their impressive displays bringing them 2 tries each.  Drybrook’s first score came after 14 minutes when flanker Craig Moore made a 30 metre break from the back of a line out before giving the scoring pass to his brother Carl.  Drybrook made most of the running in the first half but the home side hung on and after 25 minutes they drew level.   Frampton relied on a strong driving maul to go forward and from one such catch and drive from a lineout Drybrook could not prevent them from advancing 30 metres for a try  Immediately from the restart the home side created a try out of nothing with a delightful move that caught Drybrook flatfooted.  Drybrook were undaunted and soon drew level with a converted try of their own.  Centre Leon Meek caused the home side a lot of problems with his direct running and from one such effort Craig Moore was up in support to go over under the posts for Luke Beard to convert.  Right on the stroke of half time Drybrook scored again when No 8 Neil Morgan created the space down the blindside of a scrum to give Carl Moore a try in the corner

Drybrook looked lively in the second half and increased their lead after 12 minutes with their fourth try. Craig Moore made a real hash of a four to one overlap but he quickly made amends by charging down the clearance kick before gathering the loose ball to score.  Drybrook had several other opportunities to increase the lead as they continually took the game to the home side but in their over eagerness they failed to convert pressure into points.
