Final pre-season game see's "The Mouth" just lose out.

Avonmouth locked horns with old rivals "Reds" in what would be both sides last warm up game before the big kick off on the 3rd of September.

Old Reds, having won their play off game against Maidenhead RFC last season, booked a National 3 (South) spot for the 2011-12 season.
Clearly they have recruited and recruited well. Looking sharpe and in great shape it would seem a tough night was in store for the Avonmouth boys.
The first half was even, with end to end play but the home side were ahead 14-5 at the break with tries from the always lively and entertaining brother partnership Grant & Craig Britton.... I mean Charlie & Billy Reynolds. Fat Owen Wilson lookalike Matt Belbin adding the extra's.

The second half was a complete different story as Avonmouth spent long periods of time camped in their own half. A huge plus for this fixture was that the boys managed to sort the lineouts out (something that was dier down at Barnstaple). Boys were hungry and aggressive. Losing 15-14 to a side one league above is something to take into the Wadebridge game and i have to say, the boys are buzzing for it.
