RUGBY. Salisbury 10 Bracknell 2nds 17.

Playing in a friendly against a team four divisions higher than themselves, Salisbury can take great heart from their performance.

Salisbury had all the early pressure but it was Bracknell who scored first - a penalty giving them three points against the run of play.

Salisbury continued to play attacking rugby and were unlucky to concede a try moments before half time.

An excellent start to the second half saw winger Pete White score wide in the corner for an unconverted try before a scrum 15m from Salisbury's line gave Bracknell's number eight the chance to feed his centre who scored a converted try.

Salisbury raised their game and, following a period of exciting 15-man rugby, Toby Marden scored their second unconverted try.
