Jake Sharp

This was a much closer than the 32-19 scoreline suggests with the game only decided in Bristol's favour in the last few minutes ...

The wind was a major factor as the two sides slugged it out with goal kicks at a premium.

To Bristol's credit they managed to cross the line six times while Aaron  Morris touched down twice for the Blues and Eoin Sheriff getting a third. Jake Sharp managed two tricky cons.

With five minutes left the scoreline was just 22-19 to the high flying visitors but Bristol’s pressure eventually told when George forced his way over and then in the dying seconds Ben Mosses went over.

Blues: Nic Auterac (Nico Steenkamp 78), Scott Spurling (Charlie Clare 20), Phil Boulton (Tomas Gilardon Paz 55), Mike Howard (Gregor Gillanders 75), Eoin Sheriff, Don Barrell, Sacha Harding, Paul Tupai (Joe Vandermolen 55), Darryl Veenendaal, Jake Sharp, Aaron Morris, Mark Atkinson (Capt), Brendan Burke, Pat Tapley, Michael Le Bourgeois (Ollie Dodge 70).

Tries: Sheriff, Morris 2.

Cons: Sharp 2.

Bristol: Kyle Traynor, Ross Johnston (Rhys Lawrence 65), James Hall (Gaston Cortes 65), Ben Glynn (Glen Townson 70), Mark Sorenson (Capt), Nick Koster (Mitch Eadie 54), Ross Rennie, Marco Mama, Luke Baldwin (James Grindal 65), Nicky Robinson (Adrian Jarvis 52), Andy Short, Ben Mosses, Luke Eves, George Watkins, Adam D’Arcy (Jack Wallace 52).

Tries : Watkins 2, Eves, Short, Traynor, Mosses.

Con:  Jarvis.

Late Defeat for Blues

A really close and exciting game. Glad we made the trip to the sunshine at Bedford - never met such a lot of fair minded supporters.

Here's a link to the highlights video - shows all the tries, conversions (mostly missed in Bris's case) and the yellow card incidents.
