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.
Burntwood had to see off a spirited second half fightback by Willenhall to reach the Staffs Intermediate Cup Final and continue their bid to defend the trophy they won last season.
