MK and Bletchley win as women get tries for fun


The first half was controlled by MK in all aspects of play and at half time city had a lead of 47-0 with tries from winger Dan Pearson, number eight Dan Rolfe (2), second row Ben Fisher, flanker David Brown, winger Nathan Thomas, scrum half Rob Lasbrey. 6 of the tries converted by full back Brian Purcell.
The second half was a very different game as City failed to maintain the same level of control and that combined with Wheatley battling hard in all their endeavours, resulted in MK only scoring another 17 points.
