RESURGENT Bromsgrove could move out of the bottom three with a win over second-placed Walsall in Midlands Division Two West on Saturday.

The turn of the year has seen a change in fortunes for the Boars, who have now won back-to-back league games.

After seeing off Cheltenham North two weeks ago, they picked up their first away win of the season, beating fellow strugglers Whitchurch 17-12 on Saturday.

First half tries from Drew Harper and Lee Wainwright meant Bromsgrove were always in control.

And head coach Ross Baxter believes his side's commitment has been the key to their revival.

He thinks they are capable of causing an upset against Walsall.

"The attitude and commitment were really good and I think that is what got us through the game." he said.

"We didn't have a lot of chances but we took them when we had them.

"We defended really well and were very good in the contact areas.

"We have targeted six wins to make sure we are safe.

"If we can take the commitment from the last two games I think we will be very competitive against Walsall."

Droitwich also continued their impressive form, but were lucky to scrape past Nuneaton Old Edwardians with a 7-5 victory in Midlands Division Three West (South).

Steve Poke scored an opportunist try early in the game, which was converted by Duncan Hughes.

But the visitors scored an unconverted try after the restart and wasted two chances to snatch victory, sending two late penalties wide of the posts.

Coach Dan Protherough was relieved that his side were able to overcome what he called a "banana skin".

"Before the game I thought it could be a potential banana skin," he said.

"We only just beat them at their place in the last minute, scoring under the posts "It was always going to be a potential banana skin so we are just glad that we got the win.

"In the last 20 minutes our discipline went because we got more tired.

"We didn't play well but at the end of the day we got the result and that is all that matters.

"Performances are great but at the end of the day it is all about winning.

"Hopefully now we will put our yards in in training this week.
