Hartpury 12-6 Nottingham (RFU Championship) 25.10.19
Nottingham Rugby were beaten by Hartpury on Friday night in a downpour at the ALPAS Arena that dents the Green & Whites promotion push.
With the away side conceding 10 first half penalties the Gloucestershire outfit lead 6-0 at half time as conditions worsened with rain through the night.
In the second half Bragman kicked his third penalty from four to make it 9-0 before Shane O’Leary, who missed in the first half could twice kick over setting up a frantic final ten minutes.
Hartpury though furthered their lead on 73 when Bragman kicked over another penalty and despite a late push by Nottingham the home side held on to inflict the first defeat on the Green & Whites this season.
