DROITWICH put in a gallant display, despite losing 32-10 to unbeaten league-leaders Old Laurentians.

The hosts opened the scoring with a penalty but Bobby Scott-Walker levelled the scores.

Scott-Walker then intercepted a stray pass, sprinted 50 metres and scored a try. He then converted himself.

Laurentians pulled a try of their own back before half time to trail 10-8 at the break.

With Spa now against the wind they knew it would be difficult, good play by Ross Midegeley and Nick Godfrey gained valuable metres but Droitwich kept losing the ball at the breakdown.

Gregor MacLeod at full back put in a great display under constant pressure to relieve the pressure for the young Spa side. However the hosts soon scored three quick tries to kill the game off.

Some good running by Luke Topping was in vain as the home side just couldn’t get any fluency into the game with constant penalising against.

After the game, Droitwich knew they could have really taken the match to the hosts in the second half.

They paid the price for a lack of belief and fitness.
