Cinderford emerged from a quite intense and dogged encounter with a bonus point victory over Birmingham Moseley having outscored their opponents by five tries to three.
Dan Lewis scored the opening try for the visitors after just two minutes, which he also converted. Cinderford soon levelled when hooker Nathan Taylor was driven over, with Reece Boughton converting. Lewis then kicked a penalty before Taylor scored his second to make it 12-10 to the hosts. Will Baldwin scored the try of the match for the home team when a well-timed pass saw him cut a perfect angle to race through under the posts, with Boughton converting. Lewis kicked his second penalty to make it 19-13 at the interval.
Taylor completed his ‘hat -trick’ of tries in the early stages of the second half, with Boughton converting and then adding a penalty. Moseley responded when the referee awarded them a penalty try, but Boughton replied with his second penalty. When Matt Marsh scored a try for the visitors with six minutes remaining the visitors were back in the contest, but Dan Hodge ensured a victory for the hosts, when he forced his way over the try-line from close range.
