FOOTBALL'S loss is rugby's gain as Jon Gregory bagged a hat-trick of tries as Evesham's fourth team defeated Alcester 53-22.

Another player from the round ball ranks, Geoff Cowley, grabbed his first try for the club while cricketer Will Bailey would appear to be every bit as talented as his now retired brothers as he also got his name on the scoresheet.

Hooker Callum Young, playing alongside father Rob, is improving with every game and is another with great potential.

The fourths recorded another win last Saturday when Mike Bilt-cliff held his nerve to land a last-gasp penalty in a 17-15 win agai-nst Ledbury.

Ledbury led 15-7 at half-time with Biltcliff converting Tom Ferguson's try but it was Biltcliff who proved the day's hero, converting his own score before landing the decisive kick.
