One hundred and six wrestling fans watched a furious night of wrestling entertainment in Radstock at the weekend.
Two Dogs of War defeated Welsh Wonders to earn a tag team championship match later in the night.A young home-grown Midsomer Norton squad including four 17-year olds, welcomed Winscombe to a windy Norton Down.
The conditions played their part with both sides struggling to win consistent clean lineout ball and the game was more about hard work up-front and ball retention than flashy skills out-wide.
In what is a first for the area, the girl footballing squad training - otherwise know as Wildcats - is opening soon.
The sessions will also have a footballer from Bristol City helping the coaching.
Norton Down welcomed a well-resourced and ambitious Cheltenham side on Saturday. A physical battle from the outset, both teams exchanged penalties before Norton added one more and a penalty-try from a dominant scrummage. Cheltenham were able to apply some pressure themselves later on in the half to touch-down twice and make the score 13 v 15 at half time.
Although behind on the scoreboard, the mendip men were growing in confidence. The lineout started to function and the pressure was telling on the "Tigers" who started to lose discipline. Their dangerous wingers were left largely unemployed whilst the centres were over-utilised running into the narrow channels where they were consistently swallowed up, creating only small gains and slow ball.
The game began with Norton taking the slight advantage playing down the slope, Norton seemed sharp as they easily gained metres in attack early on.
From a lineout deep inside the Matson 22, Norton orchestrated a driving maul, in which Scott Goddard was on hand to crash over to open the scores, 7-0.
