Burntwood christened their new playing strip with their second bonus point win of the new season in what proved to be an eventful game at The RCI Sportsway.
Burntwood will kick off the new season this weekend after a series of warm-up games against Cannock, Walsall, Stone, HMP Featherstone and Combined Services Barbarians.
Burntwood’s quest to retain the Staffordshire Intermediate Trophy fell short by the narrowest of margins as they lost out to Newcastle by 35-34 in the final.
Burntwood 2nds lacked the cutting edge of Lichfield 2nds as they went down 38-7 at Cooke Fields in the opening round of the Staffs Lower XVs Centenary Cup competition.
Burntwood might have opened the season with a win over Telford but they couldn’t repeat it in the final game of the league campaign as they signed off with a defeat.
