HOPES of Clifton avoiding relegation back to South West One suffered a set-back as Bridgwater stormed away to victory in the second half after leading 10-3 at half time.

Full back Marshall Milroy marked his final game for Bridgwater before returning to Australia with an 18 point haul which included one of his side’s six tries.

A break from centre David Butler looked as though Clifton looked set to strike first but flanker Paul Reid was tackled in to touch just short of the line by wing Gavin Hancock.

Minutes later Clifton again missed an opportunity to get the first points on the board with a penalty from in front of the posts but fly-half Andy Bell missed the target.

Milroy put the home side in front with a penalty after 7 minutes with Bell, with the strong winds at his back, responding with one 10 minutes later.

Bridgwater were denied a couple of tries, first through prop Shane Kingsland and then through fly-half Christian Wulff, due to forward passes.

Five minutes before the break as scrum half Matt Britton put Jon Edwards away on his own 22. The wing outpaced the covering defence to score under the posts with Milroy converting.

Clifton were on level terms again shortly after the restart after stealing the ball at a lineout to set-up a move that saw wing Matt Spencer cross the line and Bell add the extras.

But after that it was all Bridgwater as they scored five unanswered tries with the first coming as Wulff gave the scoring pass to Milroy who split the defence before adding the conversion.

On the hour Milroy turned provider as Hancock was put clear for the third try. Milroy conversion was off target and he was denied a second try minutes later.

Bridgwater scored three tries in the final ten minutes with Hancock claiming his second with the bonus point try followed by two from Wulff all converted by Milroy.
