Having romped to a big victory over Pershore on the opening day, head coach Lee Maddison was shorn of even more playing options with injury to winger Joe Graham and the unavailability of other backs.
Park’s pack had a stronger feel with Anthony Airey, Charlie Wilson and Gaz Hammond in the back row while Aaron Willis started a second straight game in the centres.
Pinley, roared on by a large swelling of home support, took the lead with a quickly-tapped penalty and short burst for a converted try.
It would prove to be the game’s only try, the rest would be a battle of the boot.
While Park toiled in this department missing three pre-half time penalties, Pinley prospered, picking five successful penalties to close out the game.
The scoreline was cruel on Park who had large spells of possession and were denied a try by Chris Goode when he was stopped by a player who failed to retreat sufficiently from a penalty – the perpetrator miraculously escaping further punishment.
Willis also went close to scoring but was adjudged to have been held up by Pinley’s resolute reargard defence.
