TETBURY completed the double over Wotton-under-Edge with a 16-6 victory in their latest Gloucestershire Division Three South encounter.
A tight game was dominated by both sides' defensive work and it was Tetbury's discipline and control which eventually won the day.
Wotton claimed first blood with a 10th-minute penalty but Luke Small replied after the Wotton pack were guilty of some over-zealous footwork.
The Tetbury pack exerted pressure on the Wotton front five and with flankers Brendon Hope and Brian Goldstone, and fly-half Will Dyer pressuring the Wotton ranks, they earned another penalty for a 6-3 lead at the break.
Another Small penalty extended the lead but after Tetbury prop Mike Conway and the Wotton hooker were sin-binned after a brawl, the home side cut the deficit.
The decisive score eventually came from a Will Dyer kick-through, which South African Arthur Hewitt gathered to touch down. Small converted and that was enough to take the points.
