CORSHAM slipped to a 42-10 defeat at Wimborne in Southern Counties South, a
week after securing their league status for the following season.
Fielding a much-changed team, Corsham blooded colts Rhys Jones and Jack
Hargett against the Dorset outfit and it was Jones, an England Under 18
international second row, who grabbed the visitors' only try.
That, coupled with a penalty and conversion from scrum-half and fellow colt
Tom Simons, edged Corsham into a 10-5 lead at the break.
Wimborne had already looked threatening when moving the ball wide and this
tactic paid dividends in the second half as they found their handling to run
in five tries for an ultimately comfortable victory.
Corsham's youthful third string, meanwhile, lost out 56-0 to a strong and
more experienced North Dorset third string.
The Corsham club have also been playing host to the BBC this week as filming
continues for an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

The production, whose cast includes new Bond girl Gemma Arterton and Anna
Massey, have been using the rugby club as a base unit while filming in the
Corsham area.
