Berry Hill 57 Longlevens 0

Berry Hill hosted Longlevens in the quarter finals of the county plate. Hill missing a few players and forced to make positional changes showed great strength talking the game to Longlevens. For the first 5 minutes Longlevens  held their lines  but Hill slowly got the upper hand to  notch up  a series of tries which went unanswered. Doninating in the centre with good interlinking play from Harry Brown and Billy Roberts meant Hill could control the game allowing Ricky Davis to regain his legs out pacing the opposition to run in 4 tries and picking up man of the match. Ryan Dawson was still on fantastic kicking form putting the ball between the posts 6 times from 9 attempts.

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
