MINETY 2nd defied the slippery conditions to put their Tetbury counterparts to the sword 67-0.

The Wiltshire team ran in no fewer than 11 tries without reply, with hat-tricks for both No 8 Sean Richards and scrum-half Duncan Drewett.

It was a good all-round performance by Minety, who played their best rugby against the wind in the first half.

Man of the match for Minety was openside flanker Gerry Smith, who was great value for his three tries and among other positives for Minety was a pleasing cameo appearance by veteran three-quarter Duncan Milnes.

The first-half tries were scored by Drewett, Richards, stand-off Kenny Wright, and Richards again.

In the second half, the try scorers were James Hazell, Mark Turner, Mike Strong, Drewett, Gerry Smith, Richards and Drewett.

Captain Mike Strong kicked two conversions and James Stokes added four more.
