MID-TABLE Devizes were beaten in Wales as the relegation-threatened home side carved out victory.

The university started the hungrier of the two teams and the intention of pinning Devizes in their own half was clear to see.

Devizes struggled to get into the game and could not maintain periods of possession or create patterns in their play.

Sloppy defending and lack of structure resulted in Devizes going into half time three goals down.

Devizes came out the second half as a completely different team.

The fight was back in their game and they began to play with composure, in-form striker Jack Betenson scoring both goals, one a coolly-placed finish from a tight angle and the other a masterful drag flick.

Devizes host Cheltenham in the last home game of the season on Saturday.
