CHARLIE Radcliffe and Nick Suter both grabbed a brace of tries each in Melksham’s eight-try defeat of hosts Calne.

Melksham set out with a pushover try from Jack Briggs in the first five minutes Simon Foster converting.

Radcliffe’s first came from a penalty quickly taken and Suter was next to score with a ball taken against the head at the scrum.

For the rest of the half Calne pressured Melksham on their line but a big defensive effort ensured they held firm.

Melksham continued to dominate the home team despite a determined opposition.

Suter’s second came as he took the ball in support of a line break by Phil Stone, Foster adding the extras.

Melksham winger Callum Gillard was next, striking out wide and Foster converting.

Joe Hargreaves stepped off the bench to make an impact, going in for Melksham’s sixth and Radcliffe followed for his second with the elusive Stone scoring the final try.

Skipper Callum Hurn said: “We were composed in attack and defence throughout the game from the first whistle.

“Although Calne were robust and disruptive in attack we were able to absorb it and switch play to produce an advantage.

“Our focus was concentrated to produce the eight tries.’’
