CLEOBURY Mortimer seconds continued their encouraging development by playing their part in an entertaining 28-15 defeat at Bromyard thirds.

Kevin Shields kicked a first-half penalty but Bridgnorth, inspired by experienced forwards and speedy backs, replied with two converted tries.

Cleobury dominated the line-out and loose play but were undone by the wing pace of their opponents.

Dave Robinson rose quickly to charge down a fly-half's kick and dived over for an unconverted try.

Two more converted tries put the game beyond Cleobury but Paul Hulland barged over near the posts for a consolation with Shields converting.
