Rejuvenated Walsall make it three wins on the spin
Walsall continued their fine run of form at Worcester on Saturday as they claimed their third win on the spin.
The hosts started well and used the sloping pitch to good effect to gain an early lead as prop forward Richard Ralph forced his way over for a try near the corner flag.
But Walsall replied with a Matt Wood penalty and he also created Walsall’s first try, intercepting a wayward Wanderers pass and running 30 metres before finding centre Harvey Wotton, who finished it off well with a try under the posts. Wood converted…

Walsall secure maximum haul

Chris breaks the mould and seals gruelling comeback win
Walsall produced a battling display to overcome a spirited performance from a winless Leamington side on Saturday.
The visitors started strongly but their only reward for a sustained period of pressure was a Matt Wood penalty.

Dudley Kingswinford’s notched their 13th consecutive win to stay top of Midlands One West but the game was overshadowed by a horrific injury to Walsall’s Alex Woodward.
The second row was trapped under a mass of bodies following a collapsed maul seven minutes into the second half and suffered a badly broken leg as a result DK had used the slight slope and breeze well in the first half to lead 3-26 at the break, having also gained the four try bonus point. But the shocking injury meant a 20 minute stoppage and a move to Walsall’s lower pitch as the ambulance men tended to Alex.
The incident patently affected both sides and the remainder of the second half was pretty scrappy with the sides registering just a try apiece…
