Moseley Oak 51 Evesham 5
Moseley Oak began their season well with a very encouraging performance against a young and tenacious Evesham in the North Midlands Shield.
Moseley, with a number of colts in the ranks kept the ball for the first 7 minutes with excellent discipline before great hands moving left put Gareth Jones over in the left corner.
Shortly after Adam Billig broke in the centre and Jack Richards went outside the cover on the right to score a converted try.
Robust Evesham tackling, coached by former Moseley wing Doug Payne, kept the home side at bay until great passing from Andy Ford and Tom Johnson put right wing Richards away who drew the defence and passed inside for the supporting Johnson to score.
Tom Johnson got his second soon after following up a kick ahead , 24-0 at halftime.
Evesham rallied at the start of the second half and a series of forward drives put them in to score in the corner.
Neil Mason and Ollie Thomas were leading by clever example and as defenders ran out, replacement Tom Peake went in on the right before the Moseley forwards drove a lineout for another score.
Gareth Jones then showed his pace in chasing and gathering a pinpoint Ollie Thomas kick for his second.
On 74 minutes Morgan Dawes powered past defenders to score with the final try coming after good work by Dawes and Richards to put Adam Billig in.
An encouraging start with the League season starting next week.
