Berry Hill 22 Monmouth 38

With a break in the county competition Hill hosted Monmouth for their second encounter this season. Having won the first match Hill started the more confident and quickly opened up the scoring with Callum Wyman showing great strength to touch down. Monmouth however were not ready to capitulate and poor tackling saw them break through to level the score. Both teams then battled hard and took their opportunities to score but it was Hill who went into the break ahead 22 -19. The lead was not enough and now playing up the slope with the sun against them Monmouth gained the upper hand to take the win. Hill did have chances in the second half and camped in Monmouth's 22 for long periods but their ability to finish alluded them. Kyle Bundy picked up the man of the match but the whole team will need to improve their performance if they are to progress in the county plate.

Berry Hill 7 Cheltenham 28

Berry Hill hosted county champions Cheltenham for the last of their county cup pool games. After last weeks poor performance Hill were far more determined from the kick off and took the game to visitors pressurising them deep in their half. Cheltenham however showed great team play and broke loose to score first but this did not deter Hill and they quickly answered with Luke Davis siezing on a loose ball from a scrum to put in flanker Will Lewis. Both teams then battled hard for the rest of the half but it was Cheltenham who went into the break 2 tries ahead at 21 to 7. The second half continued the same as the first with both teams spending spells in the oppositions 22 but neither managed to score until 4 minutes before the final whistle when Cheltenham intercepted a pass and running three quarters of pitch to touch down between the posts. A much more spirited game from Hill with Will Lewis picking up man of the match

Berry Hill 3 Cleve 43

Berry Hill left the snowy peaks of Lakers Road for a warmer climate in Bristol to play Cleve. Travelling with a bare 15 due to injury and family engagements it was always going to be a tough job against last year's county cup finalists. Hill never looked to make a mark on the game and lacked the passion and focus they have showed on previous cup games. Cleve slowly notched up a series of tries which went unanswered except for a penalty by Ryan Dawson. A few players did step up to the challenge with Callum Wyman picking up Hill's man of match . Hopefully with players returning the final match of the county cup pool stage against Cheltenham will be a more entertaining affair.


Good  to see Olly Morgan at the game . Hopefully  he should be back in the side soon
