Rugby round-up

Blackheath 21 Stourbridge 11 The return of injured fly-half Sam Robinson could not save Stourbridge from their first defeat of the season as they fell at the hands of Blackheath.

Robinson was back in the side after 10 months riddled by injury.

But he could not prevent his side succumbing to the Londoners, who were 13-3 up at half-time and rarely looked troubled until late on.

A Matt Leek penalty for Blackheath opened the scoring and he was on hand again to convert after full-back Martin Olimo went over for the game's first try on 24 minutes from a tap penalty.

Leek kicked another penalty before Stourbridge's Ally Bressington added one of his own to make it 13-3 at the break.

There was another penalty apiece early in the second half but an individual try from Sean Moran wrapped up the victory for Blackheath.

Stourbridge winger Tom Jarvis went over for a late consolation try.

Dudley-Kingsswinford 7 Luctonians 34

Dudley Kingswinford crashed to their fourth successive league defeat as their miserable start to the Midlands One season continued.

DK crumbled to a 34-7 home defeat to league leaders Luctonians, who ran in five tries as they cruised to victory.

The Heathbrook side weren't helped by the early loss of prop Al Francis to a rib injury, and within minutes they were behind when Luctonians No 8 Paul Hulland drove over for the game's first try, converted by Brett Prior.

Richard Henwood cantered in for the visitors' second try midway through the first half, again converted by Prior, before the afternoon went from bad to worse for DK when hooker Adam Blackford also suffered a rib injury and had to be replaced.

The points continued to flow for Luctonians after the break when Charlie Meredith scored the try of the game, touching down to cap a flowing move that started inside their own 22.

DK took advantage of Luctonians being reduced to 14 men when Hulland was shown a yellow card by getting on the scoreboard through Layton Wilkinson's try, converted by Tom Bissell.

But the respite was shortlived as Luctonians scored two more tries and a penalty to wrap up a convincing victory.

Cameron Hewitt benefited from Simon Fletcher's attempted clearance being charged down to score under the posts for Prior to convert, before prop Tony Marfell scored the visitors' fifth and final try.
