Taunton…………………. 15 Birmingham Mos… 34
National 1
SIX well-taken tries by an efficient, organised Birmingham Moseley gave them a well-deserved victory.
Taunton opened the scoring after 11 minutes with a try from Harry Wright, converted by Francisco Diaz Dart.
But after that, Moseley took over, levelling the scores with a Samuel Pointon try and Jack Jolly conversion.
The visitors extended that lead five minutes later through Aquile Smith.
On the 30-minute mark Taunton decided to go for goal with a Dart penalty to narrow the gap.
But the Birmingham lead was stretched when a catch and drive from the line-out resulted in a try for Ryan Roach.
Within two minutes of the restart, Moseley were over again with another try from Oliver Allsop, who then grabbed a second on the hour-mark, converted by Tighe Maxwell-Whiteley.
In the 77th minute, Luke Bralsford broke around the front of the line-out and showed the pace of a winger to score.
However, from the re-start, the visitors had the last word with a second Roach try on the 80-minute mark to finish the game.
