The pack began to dominate and centre Adam Cheshire used his pace to score two tries wide out, to give Sedgley a 10-5 half time lead.

The forwards continued to take charge in the second half, though Blackburn were always dangerous; this was a good test for the Sedgley side.

Wing Dan Healey scored the third try, but

Sedgley then had to defend for a time as Blackburn pressed.

Finally, they broke out to score an exceptional individual try, Cheshire's third.

Blackburn pulled the score back to 20-12 with a converted try before Sedgley

lock and captain, Andrew Dauncey, crashed though to score a try which Healyconverted.
