Report from the Bridgwater Mercury

North Petherton 2nds put in one of their best displays of the season to win 50-12 in an enthralling Somerset Three South game at Burnham 2nds, scoring eight tries in the process.

Petherton's forwards were outstanding in both the set-piece and the loose, which allowed the backs to play an expansive game.

The visitors scored some excellent tries, shared between the backs and forwards.

Captain Larry Steward led the way with four, his sons Lloyd and Ollie scored one apiece and the others came from Cameron Kirk and Archie Walford. Lloyd Steward kicked four conversions and Mark Sutherland-Earl had one.

Wayne Pither and Sutherland-Earl had strong games while Petherton's back row of Ade Harris, Mark Stevens and Kev Gray were outstanding.
