Midsomer Norton warmed up for the new season with a very promising preseason performance in a five-try victory over Frome.

Norton demonstrated an exciting brand of rugby during the match in which both teams used large squads ahead of the new season. Tries for the home side came from Connor Schuster, Joe Knight, James Abbott, Kieron Humphries and Luke Williams. Ben Taylor conversions made the score 31-12.

Norton’s season starts on the 2nd September with a tough trip to Cinderford, with their first home game against Cleve the following Saturday.
