Walsall’s 2nd team, the United made a pleasing start to their campaign in the Western Reserves League. Last year’s success ensured promotion to this tough league, and the management will be delighted with the 48 -3 win over Bournville 2nd team. Although it was a large squad, all the players had some game time with several ‘new faces’ and some ex-colts been given the opportunity to impress. Last year’s first team regular Andy Fitzgerald scored two tries in his first game since recovering from injury. While scrum-half Mike Tibbetts also crossed for two. One try each for Neil Pittaway,Jimmy Scott,Ed Mott and Jamie Hickman. Jack Crowhurst added four conversions
