Frome 17-24 Bracknell: Visitors hold off fightback to claim away win

BRACKNELL held off a second-half fightback from Frome in tricky conditions to take an away victory.

Frome were attacking and after several rucks, a run down the wing out of defence by May was illegally stopped, the penalty did not make touch due to the conditions.

The wind affected much of the play for the opening minutes, swirling round the side of the clubhouse.

Much of the play had been in Bracknell’s half but after about 10 minutes, Bracknell hit a purple patch.

The first score came after a Frome scrum was won but a kick ended in the hands of an offside player.

The penalty and following line out on Frome’s 22, had a Crossfield kick from a maul to the backs, a maul then a Bracknell break through the Frome lines, ended with Bayliss scoring an unconverted try in the corner.

Bracknell scored again a few minutes later, the restart gathered by Johnson, who passed to May who made a fine run to enable an off load to Milligan, scoring a converted try under the posts to make it 12-0.

Liam Wood secured the ball to run in impressively through the home sides defence, with the try unconverted the score was now 0-17.

Bracknell took the try bonus point on 25 minutes. With Johnson featuring again, Will Field made a run down the left wing, an offload had the backs get the ball to Burch who scored a wind assisted converted try to go 24-0 ahead.

The second half was a turnaround from the first, with Frome dominating much of the play, George Milligan had to go off injured on about 20 minutes after a rare Bracknell attack in this half.

The first Frome score came after good work by their backs, attacking their favoured end, the very muddy part of the pitch, they had a scrum on our five-metre line, Frome were awarded a penalty try.

Probably due to the pitch, there were many stoppages for injuries, the clock was running down quicker than the match was progressing due to this.

Frome won another penalty, with the line out won, a maul, a ruck, a Frome back broke through the defensive line to score 12-24.

The final score of the game came from Frome, it was deserved from the amount of possession they had in the half. Penalty kicked to line out, after a ruck the backs retained the ball to score, with the conversion good the score was now 17-24.

With the travelling support starting to get nervous, an injury to Frome’s 56-year-old forward stopped play for a few minutes.

When play resumed there was not much time left and was played out with Frome attacking, Bracknell’s defence held firm and much the same as the first half a Frome knock-on had the final whistle blown, to the relief of the Bracknell supporters.
