Worcester Cavaliers suffer Aviva 'A' League drubbing at Sale Jets

Another heavy defeat for Worcester Cavaliers Another heavy defeat for Worcester Cavaliers

WORCESTER Cavaliers suffered yet another chastening defeat in the Aviva ‘A’ League as they went down 42-0 to Sale Jets at Heywood Road last night.

On the back of 82-0 and 67-10 home drubbings to Gloucester United and Northampton Wanderers respectively, the youthful Cavaliers side made it a hat-trick of hammerings as they were out-classed by Sale.

The Worcester side, who included fit-again flanker Neil Best, never took a backwards step, but the home side ran in five tries to coast to victory.

Jordan Davies put the Jets ahead with a third-minute penalty, before both sides tried to run the ball across the width of the Heywood Road pitch.

Fly-half Davies nudged Jets further ahead with two more penalties, before the game's first try on 31 minutes, with Davies finishing off a sweeping backs' move.

Winger Royle went over for try two before the break, while the final attack of the first-half saw Worcester full-back Ben Howard collect a high ball and take off on a decent run until he was stopped in his tracks by Jacob.

Worcester's George Porter and Howard made good breaks from defence at the start of the second-half, but the impetus swiftly returned to the home side as Jennings and Doyle made significant surges before try three arrived after 65 minutes when Royle crossed.

Four minutes later, a James chip-and-chase led to a try from the supporting Jennings for the bonus point.

Worcester continued to try and make the most of limited possession, but with two minutes of play left, a strong drive from Flynn set up a try on the left for James, who converted his own effort.

What is the point of the Cavaliers when you have dumped the academy. Andrew Stanley must have laughed all the way to Gloucester.
