WORCESTER Under-16 team gained revenge against the only team to have beaten them this season as they edged out Wolverhampton 8-5.

In a game which could have gone either way until the final whistle, Worcester won mainly because of a strong defensive display with the whole team tackling and covering well.

Worcester scored their only try in the first half as Peter Knight picked up from the back of a strong and put scrum-half Jimmy Price in for a try.

Wolverhampton levelled matters with a try before half-time and the home side had to defend for much of the second half.

However, they grabbed the deciding score with ten minutes left when Wolverhampton were penalised under their own posts and Geraint Perkins landed the three points.
