Wasps 2428 Bees
Division One side Pertemps
Bees shocked Premiership
Wasps with a 2824 victory
in the Powergen Cup
quarterfinal.
Bees' Mark Woodrow kicked 18
points while Nick Baxter and
Aaron Takarangi scored tries in
a famous win over the English
league champions.
The Birmingham and Solihull
parttimers will meet Newcastle
at Kingston Park in the semi
final.
Wasps scored four tries from
Michael Roberts, Stuart Abbott, George Skivington and Ayoola
Erinle.
Warren Gatland's professionals were led by Simon Shaw in the
absence of rested England skipper Lawrence Dallaglio.
England threequarter Josh
Lewsey was also left out
alongside Craig Dowd, Mark
Van Gisbergen, Alex King and
Fraser Waters.
But Gatland's big guns led 19
11 at the break after tries from Roberts, England centre Abbott
and Skivington.
Baxter's try for the Bees on the stroke of halftime kept his
side in the match after Woodrow's earlier brace of penalties.
But shortly after the interval, the Bees struck again through
Takarangi, though Woodrow missed his second conversion to
make it 1916 to Wasps.
Two minutes later the secondplaced side in the Premiership
stretched their lead with Erinle's try.
But the boot of Woodrow
dragged the Bees back into the
game and his fifth kick sent
them 2524 ahead on 67
minutes.
The Bees were controversially denied a late Woodrow drop
goal when the ball was ruled to have dropped short despite
appearing to have cleared the bar.
But Woodrow was not to be denied his crowning moment and
hit a late penalty to seal a sensational win.
Wasps: Voyce, Rudd, Erinlie, Abbott, Roberts, Richards, Biljon,
Payne, Leota, Green, Shaw (capt), Birkett, Skivington, Rees,
Clarke.
