Pershore III 24pts, Dudley Kings III 5

THE day didn't start well with six players being taken away with the seconds.

However, Pershore still managed to start with 14 players and quickly put their opponents under pressure but it was Dudley who scored first.

Carl Wilkinson replied for Pershore with a try but missed his own conversion to leave it all-square at the break.

The second half saw Pershore playing some fantastic rugby as they dominated all areas of play except the scrums.

Pete Reynolds scored and every player put heart and soul into the game and played above the level expected.

Kings never gave up but a second Wilkinson try put the game beyond the visitors and another late score sealed victory.
