Bath Saracens made it 4 league wins out of 5 since the turn of the year, winning this closely contested fixture in Dorset & Wilts division 2.
Sarries scored the only points of the game midway through the first half. Centre Robbie Mazzeo's chip through was touched down by left winger Simon Porter, and this was followed by a penalty kick from right wing Martin Fisher. The second half failed to produce any further points but both sides played some good rugby in the sticky conditions. Bradford had a good spell of pressure early in the half but the home side's defence held firm. Sarries then finished the game strongly, coming close to increasing their lead on several occasions. Sarries now face a tough test at league leaders Pewsey Vale next week as they attempt to continue their recent good form. | |

Bath Saracens ran in six tries to pick up another two points in Dorset & Wilts Division 2.
Martin Fisher crossed the line twice, with Dan Nichols, Ollie Pocknell, Dougie Jenkins, and Ed Harding also getting on the score sheet. Fisher added 4 conversions. The Sarries forwards worked hard against a much heavier Minety pack to provide a good platform for the backs who always looked dangerous with the ball in hand. The Man of the match was Rich Evans who put in an excellent performance at number 8. | |

A first half hatrick from centre Chris Revell set up Bath Saracens third consecutive away win in Dorset & Wilts league 2.
A further try from winger Barney Newbury saw Sarries turn around at the interval with a 24 - 7 lead. The second half was a bad-tempered affair, with scuffles breaking out all over the pitch. The referee had his hands full and several acts of skull-duggery resulted in both sides playing parts of the half with 14 players. Sarries scored 3 further tries, Newbury scoring his second, with centre Matty Myers and fly half Dan McNally also touching down. McNally also added 3 conversions. | |
