[QUOTE="getofmeland, post: 193578"] [b]Bristol 21-22 Worcester [/b] [b]Bristol (12) 21 [/b] [b] Pens:[/b] Strange 7 [b]Worcester (12) 22[/b] [b]Try:[/b] Benjamin, Tuitupou, Gear [b]Cons:[/b] Carlisle, Drahm [b]Pens:[/b] Drahm [b]A 70th-minute penalty from Worcester's Shane Drahm ensured a fine kicking display from Bristol's Jason Strange was in vain at the Memorial Stadium.[/b] Tries from Miles Benjamin and Sam Tuitupou cancelled out four first-half penalties from fly-half Strange. Strange added three more penalties after the break to give the home side a nine-point advantage. But Rico Gear's 54th-minute converted try and Drahm's penalty secured the victory for the visitors. Strange had an opportunity to clinch a dramatic victory for the visitors with the very last kick of the game, but his 15m drop-goal attempt was charged down by the Warriors defence. The defeat was a disappointing result for the 9,000 fans, who had packed the Memorial Stadium for Bristol's last home match before a temporary two-year move to Newport's Rodney Gardens while the ground undergoes development. Warriors coach Mike Ruddock gave 20-year-old Joe Carlisle his debut and the fly-half had a hand in winger Benjamin's fourth-minute try. However, Strange punished Worcester's indiscipline and the visitors had former All Black centre Tuitupou to thank for keeping the scores level at 12-12 at half-time. Worcester found themselves down to 14 men on 50 minutes when Benjamin was sin-binned for preventing the ball from being released, with Strange adding three points from the resulting penalty. But the yellow card galvanised Worcester - and a slick move saw Gear touch down in the corner, with replacement Drahm adding the extras from the touchline. Crucially, Strange missed his first kick of the game - and Drahm ensured the result went in Worcester's favour with his match-winning penalty from wide on the left.
