The lack of first team fixtures meant Matt Bray’s Burntwood RUFC 3rd XV were the top billing last weekend.
They entertained St Leonard’s 2nds and ran out 63-13 winners – a match notable for Rob Nightingale who scored a try with his first touch of the ball in his first game of senior rugby.
The debutant also added a second try shortly afterwards as the hosts totally dominated the first half before the visitors gained some reward in the second period.
Burntwood’s first team return to action with a trip to Edwardians this Saturday (March 5). The Colts also travel to Birmingham on Sunday to face Moseley.
