Western Counties West
Falmouth 25, Burnham-on-Sea 5

THIS was a disappointing result for Burnham which, unfortunately, did not reflect on their performance.

Their scrummaging was good, lineouts were adequate and all-round general play was encouraging and, but for some dubious refereeing,

Burnham could easily have come away from Cornwall with a result.

Discipline was still a problem and cost Burnham 18 points but, otherwise, there was one try apiece with Louie Ward scoring for Burnham.

Burnham need to solve the problem of going away with insufficient players and also having to rely on players with ongoing injury difficulties if they are to succeed.

One feels extremely sympathetic with those who travelled on the long journey, but Burnham will be looking to exact some revenge in the reverse fixture.

Burnham 2nd XV entertained mid-table Somerton in Somerset 2S and coasted to an impressive 46-12 victory.

On Saturday, Burnham 1sts welcome Wadebridge in Western Counties W and the 2nd XV travel to Minehead Barbarians.
