Moseley Oak 54 Veseyans 0

Moseley Oak produced a 5 point league win to put them second in the table.

Playing up the slope Moseley opened the scoring with a line out drive resulting in a try by Duncan White. Ollie Thomas converted and after strong forward drives Jack Richards was given space on the left which he duly exploited to touch down.

Two further scores were registered before half time from Paul Cox after a heel against the head and a fine individual effort from Ollie Thomas.

The start of the second half saw a number of breaks in play as Veseyans had several injuries and consequent reorganisations to deal with.

After 20 minutes Neil Mason powered through on the left followed soon after by Laszlo Teisenhoffer.

Both those players added tries to their tally while Ollie Thomas converted seven out of eight conversions.

Very rewarding to see a number of recent Colts performing so well and conversely four former Moseley 1stXV players bringing their experience and skills to what was a very good team effort.

Veseyans finished the game with a long injury list and to their great credit, never stopped tackling.

Well done Oak. Come on you Oak.

Just an idle thought really, but if Oak do really well this season and get promotion, that puts them just one league below our friends at Portway (assuming they stay where they are). Who knows, could soon see them back at Billesley.

Now wouldn't that be a turn up for the books if Moseley Oak got into the championship whilst Moseley were still there.

Nice thought Phil, but slightly beyond the horizon....though nothing wrong with ambition!

It would involve 5(?) promotions through the top of amateur Midlands regional rugby, via regional semi professional rugby plus a trip thru/into national semi/pro rugby. Probably a 10 year project costing a few £ million (and a load of good fortune).

Martin's thoughts sound more like a possibility though - B&S are currently 9th in Midlands 3 W and only 8 points above the basement club. Along way to go in the season yet, but a promotion for Oak and a relegation for B&S would see them in the same league next season. Chickens counting and not wishing ill will on anyone!

And if Ollie's still playing, it could be quite like old times.....
