FULL-TIME...

WARRIORS survive a nervy ending to secure a 33-29 Championship victory over London Welsh at Old Deer Park.

It was an improved showing from Richard Hill's men, who played their part in an entertaining game, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Welsh took the lead in the 67th minute through Michael Hills' converted score, but two late Andy Goode penalties ensure an away win.

HALF-TIME...

Warriors lead 17-12 at the interval after tries from Pat Sanderson and Miles Benjamin as well as seven points from Joe Carlisle's boot.

London Welsh could be ahead, though, as kicker Aled Thomas has missed two penalites in addition to the four he has slotted.
