A LAST minute conversion saw Worcester RFC clinch a dramatic win over Whitchurch at the weekend.

James Mann slotted a touchline conversion following a late try as the hosts responded to last weekend's humbling defeat to Walsall in the best possible way.

It was a second win in three games for Jonny Arr's men, who move into seventh place in the Regional 2 West Midlands table.

Elsewhere in the league, Malvern returned to winning ways with a 29-20 bonus-point win at Evesham. 

Having lost back-to-back games to kick-off 2023, Malvern bounced back with a narrow win over second-bottom Evesham.

The result lifts Malvern back up to fourth but they are now 21 points off league leaders Old Halesonians. But they do still have two games in hand. 

Talking of Old Hales, they were made to work for the points at a resilient Droitwich.

The basement boys in the division remain without a win this season but battled hard in a competitive encounter, but were unable to stop Old Hales from making it 14 wins in a row. 

The other results over the weekend saw second placed Walsall beat Wolverhampton to stay in touch of Old Hales at the top.

Crewe & Nantwich continued their good form of late to thump Stratford Upon Avon 38-13 and Ludlow edged a low-scoring affair at Hereford, winning 15-13.
