RUGBY: Wimborne under-16s opened their Dorset & Wilts Cup campaign with a 41-19 pool victory over North Dorset.

Crossing the whitewash for Wimborne were Ethan Bell (2), Robert Deacon, Jude Blackman, Alex Robinson, Johannes Ludick and Jake Allder, the latter kicking three successful conversions.

Squad: Morgan Goddard, Noah Clark, Declan Miller, Ed Allam, Tom Holden, Wiggy Wilkes, Alex Robinson, Barnaby Booth, Jake Allder, Ben Tinsdale, Robert Deacon, Charlie Ford, Leo Merenghi, Jude Blackman, Ethan Bell, Harry Hughes, Harrison Kendall, James Waterworth, Johannes Ludick, Connor Sharp, Elliot Pearce, Dan Clark.
