Kevin Weaver: Charlie Tucker scores his hat trick try
Frampton Cotterell won this game in the first 25 minutes when they scored 28 unanswered points with Clevedon hardly getting a sniff and Frampton getting lucky with bounces and richochets.
It also didn't help that fullback Ethan Thomas was carted off after a dubious tackle on five minutes. A dislocated shoulder was suspected, which has since been diagnosed as a broken collar bone - no summer golf for Ethan!
Despite the alarming deficit, Clevedon did manage to score two of their own converted tries as they battled a tenacious and committed FCRFC side, who scored a further first half try for a 33-14 lead.
The penalty count in the first half really stacked up against Frampton and in the 38th minute, they were shown a yellow card for persistent infringements.
In the first twenty of the second half Clevedon scored two more tries to make the score 33-24. Unfortunately, they couldn't close the gap any further as Frampton pounced on any mistake and hesitation to score two more of their own.
Clevdon had trouble getting out of their half on the restarts and twice conceded tries.
Despite Frampton's energies out wide, they were well and truly humbled in the pack as Clevedon shoved and mauled them all over the place. It was fitting that Clevedon had the last word with a try by Fergus Cole on the final whistle, to win the second half 19-22 and a final losing scoreline of 52-36.
A pulsating game was enjoyed by a huge crowd and in the end Frampton Cotterell were worthy winners, despite having given away at least thirty penalties.
This was Clevedon's second final in five days and they can be proud of their efforts and the successful season that saw eight colts make their debuts.
Just the Dinner & Dance and awards ceremony to go and a long summer awaits to recuperate!

Clevedon 71 Old Sulians 19

Kevin Weaver: The Somerset Vase Champions
Clevedon won this match with something to spare in the end, despite a first half fight back by Old Sulians.
It was Ozzy James who opened the scoring after two minutes, followed by Captain Jack four minutes later. Both conversions were missed by Ethan Thomas, who soon made amends by scoring and converting his own try a few minutes later.
Clevedon's last try of the half was by Lewis O'Brien on the half hour mark, converted by Thomas.
Old Sulians decided they'd had enough of the one-sided scoring and scored two converted tries, in quick succession, just before half time for a scoreline of 24-14.
Bryan Harding: Captain Jack scores
Whatever was said at half time in the Clevedon huddle, glavanized the whole team. Six more tries were scored at regular intervals through Thomas Maton, Brian Largenton, Jack Davey, Nick Carpenter-Brooks, Ethan Thomas and captain Jack Crew for his second.
It wasn't until ther 75th minute that Old Sulians scored again to make the scoreline, 64-19.
Charlie Tucker had the last try of the game in the 79th minute, which was converted by Louis Fear for a Somerset Vase winning score of 71-19.
Old Sulians, who play their rugby a league below, can be happy with the way they defended in the first half and for the three tries that unstitched Clevedon. In the end though, it was Clevedon's power and pace that saw them run out convincing winners of The Vase.
Clevedon's last match of the season is against Frampton Cotterell in the Bristol Combination Vase on Tuesday, 12th at Clifton RFC. Kick off 19:30.
This will be a tougher match against a side who finished third in the Counties 2 Tribute Ale Gloucestershire and should produce and entertaining game for the travelling faithful.
