WORCESTER Warriors flanker Sam Betty admitted Saturday’s last-gasp 27-23 victory over Munster ‘A’ laid a ghost to rest at Sixways.

Warriors trailed 23-20 in a hard-fought British and Irish Cup tie when they were awarded a penalty about 25 metres from the Munstermen’s posts.

Stand-in skipper Darren O’Shea instructed Tiff Eden to kick to the corner and, from the line- out, Betty was driven over for the winning try.

Betty said: “It was about time we won one at the end because, in the past, we have lost games in the last minute.

“It has been devastating at times, particularly last season in the Premiership, so it was nice to be on the right end for once.

“We don’t want to draw — we want to win — and we were confident we would get a final try.

“Our drive worked well all game. It was the right decision to kick to the corner and luckily it paid off. I was surprised Munster held off so close to their line and we just managed to pile over.”

Eden finished with 12 points, while hooker Ben Sowrey bagged Warriors’ opening try and Betty grabbed the second.

Betty said: “It’s a lot of fun to play for this side and the commitment and heart from the boys are second to none.

“We are building mo - mentum in the Cham - pionship and in the cup and I think the fans are appreciating it.”

Warriors have won their first two Pool Three matches and travel to rivals Moseley on Saturday.

Head coach Carl Hogg said: “We shouldn’t look too far in front of the Mose - ley game because they gave us a very tough time in the Championship.

“Regardless of the side they pick, it will be a huge challenge for us.

“We will see whether we can look to integrate one or two of the people who have been injured.

“Winning is a habit, as is losing, and there were lots of times last season when we seemed to lose a game we were in control of in the last five or 10 minutes.

“We were dominant in the first-half against Mun - ster but didn’t have much possession and much terri - tory in the second-half and found a way to win.”
