Credit to Bromsgrove for their battle and intensity

Bright and dry, with a slight breeze. Great conditions.
Bees start and Bromsgrove don't claim the ball which finds touch between the 10m and 22, Bromsgrove take clean ball from their lineout and send it out into midfield but are penalised for holding on. Bees run from the penalty, but no advantage with Bromsgrove not 10 bringing them back for another run. Bees get to within 10m before a Bromsgrove knock on gives Bees a scrum. Bees secure possession and send the ball out wide before Bromsgrove knock on and take the ball from an offside position. Bess run quickly from the penalty and some quick hands get the ball out to Cole to go in for the first score out wide. 0-5 on 4m.
Bromsgrove restart with Bees running the return. Bromsgrove secure turnover ball and make progress getting up to Bees 22 before Bees are penalised for going off their feet. Bromsgrove opt to go for the posts but are just wide. From the 22 over eager chasing gives Bromsgrove a scrum on the 22. Bromsgrove secure clean ball but knock on in midfield. Bees are then penalised for feeding. Bromsgrove send up a big runner from the free kick and make it within 5. Bromsgrove recycle and a charge to cut the attack at source doesn't work and Bromsgrove go under the posts. Converted on 9m for 7-5.
Bromsgrove were clearly fired up for this game and an intense if scrappy continued. Neither side gaining real control with errors,turnovers, penalties and plenty of knock ons camping the game between the respective 22s. The passages of play eventually giving Bees the next score. From a Bromsgrove scrum on Bees 10m the ball is sent out into midfield where Bees earn turnover in midfield. The ball is sent deep into the Bromsgrove 22 where Bees again secure possession before sending the ball out wide for Josh to score on 26 minutes for 7-10.
More of the same before Bees close out the half from a Bees scrum just past the 10m. Clean ball is sent out with a great long pass from Noah followed by a strong running line from Nathan who goes close before Tom O goes over under pressure. Noah converts for 7-17.
Bromsgrove start the second half with Bees knocking on and then taking the ball in an offside position. Bromsgrove opt for and are successful going for posts to close the score back to 10-17 32 minutes in.
Bees restart sending the ball near the Bromsgrove 22, chasing Bees knock on. Bromsgrove feed at the scrum giving Bees the opportunity to run, 1/2 break made before the ball goes out to Tom J who bounces the first tackle before going over. Converted on 34 minutes by Noah for 10-24.
Bromsgrove restart and Bees eventually gather the ball but send it out wide to Josh who manages to round and past the Bromsgrove defence for Bees to score again. Converted by Noah for 10-31 on 36 minutes.
Bromsgrove kept competing hard and the game returned to the scrappy affair of the first. Ollie earning a yellow card in the period. Bromsgrove could convert the advantage although did pressure the Bees 22 a couple of times. Bees eventually clear their lines and make it back up to the Bromsgrove 22 before holding on. Bromsgrove run the penalty but are turned over before knocking on at the next breakdown. Bees secure possession from the scrum and from the next phase Corry is able to dive over the line. Converted by Noah on 49 minutes for 10-38. Too much chat after scoring from Bees gives Bromsgrove a penalty to restart the game.
Bromsgrove go for touch, secure possession from the lineout and recycle well through a couple of phases before sending the ball deep into Bees 22. Bees gather but the clearing kick is charged down and in the confusion caused Bromsgrove react best to score on 54 minutes for 15-38. Tails up again.
Bees eventually close out the game turning Bromsgrove over in midfield following a lineout and get the ball out quickly to Josh. A big hand off later and some real speed sees him past the defence into the corner and then back round to score near the posts. Converted on full time by Noah for 15-45.
Scoreline for Bees looks comfortable but Bromsgrove always made it difficult.
