A patched up Dorchester side made the long journey to Trowbridge expecting an extremely testing afternoon and they were not to be disappointed. With several players making their debuts and an average age of just twenty two the visitors were always struggling to contain a Trowbridge side full of confidence having won the Dorset & Wilts Vase last week.
On the plus side Dorchester scrummaged well all afternoon and competed well at the breakdown. They failed however, to come to terms with the hosts’ speed and power out wide, several of Trowbridge’s tries coming from simple missed tackles one on one.
Dorchester also struggled in the lineout, unsurprisingly since there were no recognised jumpers in the starting fifteen.
Dorchester finish their season with a home game against Oakmeadians next Saturday and will hope that they can field something close to their strongest side and go out on a high.
