MELKSHAM put their opening Dorset & Wilts One North loss to Royal Wootton Bassett 2nd behind them as they clinched a 42-12 success at Supermarine.

The visitors racked up eight tries, despite conceding an early interception score.

Number eight Ben Smith dived over defenders to level matters before Luke Cador's evasive run up the wing added a second try before half-time.

A dominant Melksham scrum set up the next for wing Matt Van Den Boogaard, who showed his pace and strength to extend the visitors' lead.

Second row Ryan Brown took a pass at pace from the back of the scrum, shaking off defenders and powering in for a debut try.

Marine added a converted try but Melksham flanker Harry Clarke stretched for the line to score another and two scores from fly-half Rory Mulgrew topped up their total.

Warminster got the better of a strong Pewsey Vale line-up to wrap up their second league win, with a 33-23 success.

Trailing to an early Pewsey penalty from James Haynes, Warminster worked their way downfield and the backs delivered a fine move for full-back Tom Evans to go in under the posts, centre Jason Sprangle kicking the conversion.

Fly-half Gavin Pratt then created the space for wing Ross Williams to burst through and touch down, Sprangle converting, before Pewsey responded with a Haynes-converted score of their own by full-back Will Bowerman .

But Warminster went into the break 21-10 up as a turnover allowed Ollie Pinnell to set up Evans for his second try.

Pewsey added a second try through flanker Chris Spence soon after the restart and another plus a penalty took them into the lead as Warminster struggled.

However, another move sent the ball out to Williams, who outsprinted the defence to go under the posts, making the conversion easy for Sprangle to regain the lead.

The victory was sealed as stand-in skipper Alex Jenkins barrelled over for a further try.
