CALNE'S brave young side were given a lesson in controlled, patient rugby in a 32-0 defeat by Cooper Avon Tyres.

The Calne team contained four players in the under 20 bracket.

However, the young, pacey and energetic side lacked the cohesion and experience of their opponents.

But to their credit their heads never dropped and the game finished with smiles all round. Graham Neal stood out with some first-class tackling.
