Kings Norton started the brighter and went 0 - 7 up after 10 minutes. Pershore then started to get a grip on the game, playing into a stiff breeze, keeping the ball for long periods and hard work forcing the visitors to dig deep in defence. The hard work paid off and tries from Damien May, Martin Hope and Brian Ranns, gave the home team rewards for their efforts and a 17 - 7 halftime lead.

The second half saw the game open up, the Pershore forwards produced plenty of good clean ball allowing the backs to cause real problems. George Meadows, Dave Oliver and Cameron Bond all made life hard for Kings Norton, mixing up kicking, hard running and attacking out wide. The visitors kept going and got a well deserved try again, but further tries from Andy Jenkinson (2), Bond, Oliver and Dan Mayfield set Pershore on the road to a clear victory, with May topping a great afternoon for the front row, touching down twice more for a well deserved hat-trick.

Pershore travel to Birmingham Civil Service next week, looking to continue their climb up the table, while the 2nd XV travel to Upton for a re-arranged Merit Table clash.
