DURSLEY travelled to this annual tournament having never progressed to the cup rounds in the six years of taking part – and won the title.

Their first pool match was against host Cirencester and it was a tight game. Frazer Holroyd opened the scoring for Dursley and converted his try.

However, Cirencester came right back and the scores were level until just before half time when Jack Reeves took an offload to score a second converted try.

In the second-half, Cirencester battled hard and did score a second try but failed to convert and Dursley won 14-12.

In the second pool match Dursley swept aside Minety six tries to one with scores from Reeves ( 2) , Tom Viney (2) Josh Geenhalgh and James Baker.

This win qualified Dursley for the semi-final versus Painswick. In a very close encounter Monty Ryder scored out wide and Greenhalgh converted a tough kick from the side line. On the last play of the game Viney crashed over to give Dursley the win to qualify for the final 12-10.

Cirencester were the opponents for the final and it was Dursley first to score through an exciting run from Baker. However, Cirencester came back and scored.

Then Reeves beat two defenders from the back of a ruck to put Dursley in the lead only for the hosts to score again to end full time in a draw.

A two-minute sudden death period was played and neither team could score. However Dursley were named champions because they has scored the most tries in the tournament.
