Pavs recently completed their pre-season preparations with a confidence boosting win over erstwhile league competition, Market Bosworth. Pavs were able to give opportunities to a number of youngsters in the guise of Ollie Anderson, Noah Bhatia, Ash Holmes and Jacob Playford, all of whom performed admirably.

From the kick off, both sides took a little time to settle, before some early enterprising play led to speedster Will Taylor sprinting in from distance to touch down and with Ollie Anderson’sconversion give Pavs a 7-0 lead. Pavs continued to try and move the ball away from the contact with Doug Billam and  Owen Taylor adding two more scores before Bosworth narrowed the lead with a well taken try following a series of Pavs penalties.Half time 19-7 to Pavs. 

After the break, Pavs introduced Noah Bhatia, Josh Hall, Ben Taylor and Joe Wilson. Pavs continued to push to the width with hooker Owen Taylor completing his hat trick, skipper Doug Billam motoring in for his second, whilst Ollie Anderson ghosted in for his first competitive 1st XV try. Bosworth then scored two good converted tries themselves. With a further two Anderson conversions the final score ended at 41-21 in favour of the home side.

All in all, a good runout for both sides as the season approaches. Next weekend, 7th September, Pavs travel to Melbourne RFC for the season opener.
