"United stunned by first half Bristol try blitz"

7 October 2008,By Simon Clark

Bath United lost 50-21 to Bristol United at Clifton RFC last night.

A United side featuring players on loan from Newbury Blues and the Cornish All Blacks had no answer to Bristol’s first half try blitz as the home side scored six tries before the break and with added conversions, were 43-0 down at half-time.

The second half belonged to Bath and tries from flanker Adrian Griffiths, centre Mike Ward and replacement Tom Kessell helped close the gap. Fly half Luke Cozens successfully converted all three tries to make the score 43-21.

However in the dying minutes of the game, Bristol added one more converted try when hooker Ollie Hayes scored.
