Stourbridge Lions 41, Shrewsbury 0

The Lions were seven points to the good after 30 seconds when Will King made the most of a Shrewsbury fumble 30 metres out from the kick off. San Vaughan added the extras.

After ten minutes a series of forward drives ended with a backs passing move and Owen Williams entered the line from full-back to score on the right.

Will Fallows scored the third try after another passing move to make the score 17-0 after 30 minutes and there was still time before the end of the half for two more tries.

On 35 minutes the Lions were defending on their own line and after winning the ball they kicked to touch just short of their own 22.

The lineout was stolen and they launched a move through the backs, releasing George Tildesley down the right. A sharp exchange of passes put Cass Brooks in position to score under the posts for a try touted as one of the best of the season.

Right on half-time, from another lineout, yet another passing move saw Tildesley blast around the cover for a try down the right. Half time score 29-0.

The second half could not match the intensity and excitement of the first, the Lions dropped a level and Shrews upped their work and effort, determined not to suffer a drubbing.

However, there was only one side that looked like scoring and that was the Lions. On 55 minutes the forwards got in on the action with a try for Tom Partridge after a series of drives in an error-strewn five minutes, again converted by Vaughan.

The game was sealed a few minutes later with a try by Fred Brooks again after a series of drives and a break to the line. Next weekend the Lions travel to Stafford.

Saturday was another good day for all the club's amateur sides, the Greyhounds beat Harborne seconds 39-24 to move six points clear at the top of North Midlands Reserve league Division 3 whilst the Grasshoppers defeated Willenhall thirds 38-0 in a friendly.
