SOUTHERN COUNTIES NORTH
WALLINGFORD could not handle High Wycombe’s catch-and-drive tactics in a 27-20 home defeat.
Ralph Smith scored a try double, with Phil Dawes’s penalty putting Wallingford 17-15 up at half-time.
However, the hosts could add only a Dawes penalty to their tally in the second half.
Although not a dirty game, the referee issued seven yellow cards, with Matt Pryor, James Norris and Jermaine Webster the hosts’ players to transgress.
