Sherborne 2nd XV secured an emphatic 41-0 victory against Kings Taunton in a match where disciplined defence and improved second-half play made the difference. The early stages of the game were evenly contested, with both teams battling for control. Sherborne created several promising opportunities but failed to capitalise, leaving points on the field in the first half. Despite this, their defensive organisation remained outstanding, shutting down any attacking threat from Kings and maintaining a clean sheet throughout the match.

In the second half, Sherborne shifted gears and made better use of their field position, spreading the ball wide and playing with greater fluidity. Their passing and movement off the ball were notably sharper, as players unselfishly created space for one another, leading to a series of well-executed tries. Sherborne’s teamwork and intelligent play paid off, as they broke down Kings Taunton’s defence time and again. The result was a commanding display of attacking rugby, with Sherborne showing their clinical edge in the latter stages of the game. Their total dominance in both defence and attack resulted in a comprehensive 41-0 win, reflecting their superior control and teamwork on the day.
