Strong Carry
Kenilworth probe for a weakness in Malvern's defence at the Jack Davies Memorial Ground during a third-verus-second clash in rugby union's Midlands Two West (South) league. Ken led 10-0, 17-5 and, with 15 minutes to go, 31-27 but went down 37-31. The opening 25 minutes of the second half saw visiting Malvern transform a 5-17 deficit into a 27-17 advantage, and both teams score two tries in as many minutes. Defeat almost certainly puts paid to Ken's promotion hopes. They now trail Malvern by 10 points and undefeated leaders Droitwich by 16, though they do have a game in hand.
