Burnham continued their downward slide,even though for an hour or more they matched Quins in every department,but eventually Quins superior size and strength took their toll.For the first half Burnham had a slight edge in territory but gave the ball away too often in potential try scoring situations,so at half time Quins led by two penalties to one.After the break Burnham kept their opponents at bay for 25 minutes until conceding a penalty lineout,Quins gathered in and completed a rolling maul.3-11.from the kickoff Burnham gained possession only to see quins turn the ball over,swiftly counterattack and score out wide.3-16.Burnham however were not denied and after successfully gaining a penalty lineout they for once outmuscled Quins for Jordan Wikiteria to claim the try 8-16.Unfortunately Burnham were unable to maintain the momentum and in the final moments Quins broke away to score a converted try.Final score 8-23.A spirited display by Burnham,who having to make five changes through injury and unavailability,just ran out of steam and now find themselves deep in the proverbial.This week Burnham are playing Wells in a quarter final of the Somerset Cup.Kickoff 2pm.
