Berry Hill16 Cheltenham 27

Berry Hill left it too late in their semi final county cup match against last years finalists Cheltenham. Trailing 24 -6 after the first half due to missed tackles and seeing themselves 3 tries down ,Hill finally sprang into action for the final 35 minutes. Virtually camping in Cheltenham’s 22 metre line for most of the second half Hill broke through with Cobi Robinson touching down in the corner. On the restart Hill again pressurized with a wave of pick and go drives they pushed the ball deep into the visitors half and were awarded a second try with Harry Brown powering over through a strong defensive line of Cheltenham forwards. All this forward pressure however had eaten away the game time and it was Cheltenham who for the last play of the match slotted a penalty between the posts to seal the victory. Hill Can take away a lot from their second half performance and can work on improving some areas of their game ready for the Abergavenny tournament.
