Bradford progressed comfortably to the second round of the Dorset and Wiltshire cup with a comprehensive victory over their local rivals.

Warminster travelled to Bradford hoping to cause an upset over a team higher in the league system but it was not to be.

Their dreams were soon quashed as Bradford scored almost from the kick off when the centres passed the ball swiftly between each other to allow scoring phenomenon James Clark to jink his way under the post.

From the resulting restart, Bradford again spun the ball wide and American football convert, Graham Robinson, stepped smartly off his right foot and sped under the posts untouched. Both tries were converted by Phil Heale.

Bradford then went down a gear as they allowed a robust Warminster pack to spoil their ball and set up several rolling mauls of their own.

This became the pattern for the first half as Bradford went in at the break 14-0 up.

Bradford changed things around at half-time and brought on ex-skipper Aiden Blowers, who was playing his last match of the season due to going to France, and Dai Martin replaced Jack Shepherd.

These changes seemed to spark the hosts back into action as they started to play with speed and commitment that was lacking in the first half.

Several tries were run in from both forwards and backs, including a brace from Andy Tam and a rare effort from Jon Cotton, plus five conversions from Blowers.

Danny Barker was playing his first game in the centre for Bradford and he showed a good blend of strong running and slick handling with an ability to ghost through a gap.

Dai Martin played with a confidence and maturity beyond his years with several incisive bursts and Jock McKenzie, who was forced into the back row from prop, seemed to revel in the open spaces that culminated in a try out wide.

Coach Dave George was delighted with the way his side have come together.

He said: "Our forwards and backs are combining well now which is great because before it was a case of the backs doing it all."

Bradford travel to Supermarine tomorrow in the Dorset and Wilts Division one.

They are currently second in the table, just behind Sherbourne, and George is hoping they can get back on top as soon as possible.

He said: "We have got three very hard games this month and it would be great if we could come through it okay.

"There are three teams who are running away with it at the moment and we are one of those, so we have to make sure it continues."
