WORCESTER colts put their opening-day disappointment behind them to overcome a feisty Wolverhampton team 54-24 with a second-half try surge.

Wolves opened the scoring after a clever kick through by their enterprising fly-half.

Finn O’Toole finished off a good team move to give Worcester their first try converted by Ben Llewellyn to level.

Skipper Will Matthews added a second after rampaging forward play as they led 14-12 at half-time.

Worcester came out for the second half firing on all cylinders and scored quick-fire tries.

Will Blackmore dived over after quick thinking at the base of a ruck 10 metres out and Alfie Bayley finished off a scorching run through the home defence.

After another try from flanker O’Toole Wolves responded well with two converted efforts.

But centre JJ Hunt made a big impression with strong runs from midfield which cut through the home defence and saw him score twice.

Fly-half Llewellyn’s consistency off the tee saw him add seven conversions to his own late try.

Team manager Adrian Bullett said: “It was a good game played in the right spirit.

"Wolverhampton made it a little difficult in a tight first half but the group worked the issues out.

"We stepped up the pace, got the ball out wide quickly in the second half and got the scores our play deserved.”
