Tewkesbury 57 Alcester 5

ALCESTER slipped to their second heavy defeat in a month after making nine changes to the side that just failed against Rugby St Andrews the previous week.

The visitors trailed 29-0 at the break and only had Stuart Little's second half try to show for their efforts.

To make matters worse, they had wing Owen Phillips sin binned with his opposite number for fighting, and replacement prop Steve Lunn controversially red carded within six minutes of him joining the action.

Alcester head to Trinity Guild next week when they return to league action.
