Clevedon left to rue lapses as Chipping Sodbury take the spoils

Western Counties North
Chipping Sodbury 39-17 Clevedon

Clevedon were left to rue some early lapses as they fell to defeat at Chipping Sodbury on Saturday.

Captain Brian Largenton scored either side of half time for the visitors, while Jonny Hicks crossed out wide following a pinpoint kick from Ethan Thomas, but Clevedon were made to pay for a slow start that saw Sodbury score three first-half tries.

Largenton's try on the stroke of half time gave his side a lifeline, but Sodbury struck again with a try and penalty, leaving Clevedon to chase the game late on.

Largenton powered over again and Hicks touched down in the corner, but the bonus-point try evaded them, as the hosts capped victory with a fifth try of the afternoon.
