Straight from the restart Clevedon were at it again when some superbly recycled ball resulted in Tom Thie busting the line to score converted Mein .The next third of the game saw the seasiders trying to play too much rugby and forcing the issue with stray passes and careless kicks. However their dominance, not just at setpiece but in the loose, was rewarded when Ryan Hervey finished off a fine handling move. From the visitors point of view visits to the Clevedon half were met with excellent line speed and first up tackles and at halftime Clevedon led 19 - nil.

From the kick off Stroud reclaimed the ball and recycled to score an unconverted try 29-5 .Back came the Seasiders with some powerfull forward surges and Toby Ford scored under the posts converted by Mein.
