Gung Ho Gloucs Go Down


Thorley Try

By New Boy
October 13 2024

Second half recklesness cost Gloucs dear as derby rivals Bath ran in the tries to record a slightly embarassing 55-31 defeat.

The Cherry and Whites had been leading 24-17 at the break,  but the new enterprising and energetic rugby they have been providing for us came unstuck when Bath pounced on any mistakes.

The first half was good with Max Llewellyn, Tomos Williams and Charlie Atkinson all crossing with Beno Obano and Finn Russell keeping Bath in the game. The lead could have been bigger but the TMO ruled that Josh Hathaway had flattened Austin Emens in  the chase for a loose ball.

It was all Bath after the break with Obano scoring a second and with Charlie Atkinson in the bin Josh Bayliss scored before a penalty try dealt Gloucs a major blow.

The floodgates opened causing George Skivingtn to reflect: "We are pushing our luck the way we’re playing. When it’s good, it’s good.

“We’ve learned a valuable lesson that we have to respect the breakdown. When you offload and when you pass, because Bath scored at least four tries off us making a wrong decision in attack and being reckless rather than organised."
