Stag Stevo put up on the chair

CINDERFORD Stags won a fierce contest with Cheltenham United by 14-11.

Tim Stevenson (pictured) played his first game of the season for Cinderford and also made his Stags debut.

His tactical kicking proved the difference between the two teams.

Cheltenham edged things in the scrums, but the Stags dominated the line-outs with some accurate throwing from hooker Rob Groves.

Green’s second try came from a clever Stevenson kick. He beat the opposing full-back to race in from 40-yards.

The Foresters used a squad of 20 players with captain Jon Jelf man of the match.

First-team player Stevenson declined to drink a pint of beer while stood on a chair, the traditional welcome to all new players. Instead, he drank water.

Despite that, team manager Steve Jelf said: “Tim fitted well into the team. I hope he’s available for selection next week.”
