BRADFORD are seventh in the Dorset & Wilts One North table, but only eight points adrift of two-time defending champions Chippenham 2nd and Supermarine, after success on Saturday.

Bradford shrugged off the loss of second rows Si Orchard and Ben Walker to injury to turn in their best performance of the season.

Tom Davidson and Tom Wishart stepped in for Orchard and Walker and acquitted themselves well.

Centre Nick Abbott scored a try and fly-half Dan Bright added a penalty for an 8-0 half-time advantage and Cam Dewar scored twice in the second period, Bright adding a further penalty.
