A Gloucester Rugby side defeated a Bristol Bears team 43-12 on Saturday in a friendly fixture designed to give players game time.

A lot of Gloucester Rugby’s academy talent was on display with Jake Morris, Jack Bartlett, Harry Taylor and Matty Jones, who scored twice, all getting over the try line.

Also scoring for the Cherry and Whites were Giorgi Kveseladze and Charlie Sharples who added some experience to the side. 

Gloucester Rugby’s Head of Academy Peter Walton was pleased to have played the fixture.

“It was a really valuable run out for us and great for so many of our academy players to get some minutes under their belts.

“It was really good to have competitive action for these boys and we thank Bristol for hosting the game.”
