Newent 1st XV 36pts
Newent retained the Junior cup and completed an unbeaten season after overcoming a stiff challenge from Drybrook’s second team at the BerryHill ground.
There was no scoring for 25 minutes as Drybrook United surprised Newent with some aggressive defence but when centre Dan Price was yellow carded following a flare up, Newent took control.
A multi-phased attack eventually led to No 8 Fred Nottingham scoring and a few minutes later stand off Joe Goatley created the space for Charlie Gellert to add a second try.
Goatley’s conversion put Newent 12pts – nil ahead but even when second row John Duffin was yellow carded they were still able to keep up the pressure.
Just before the break some clinical play led to winger Dominic Mathews crossing in the corner.
