Bournemouth 19 v 17 Weston-super-Mare
Wood Man of the Match – James Flynn.
Bournemouth showed great resilience in a tough match against fourth-placed Weston-super-
Mare. Having trailed 6-10 early in the second half, tries for James Flynn and 'Eddy' Edwards
saw Bournemouth take a six point lead half-way through the second half but with just six
minutes to go, a try and a conversion by fly-half Armstrong saw the visitors take one point
lead. From the kick off Flynn kicked a nerve-jangling goal to restore the lead which set up a
nail-biting last few minutes as the visitors strained for the winning score and Bournemouth
were just as determined to deny them. Bournemouth jumped to fifth and safety as teams
above them lost and teams below them won.
