I was there. We were at home to Bath who thought they only had to turn up to win. There was a tempory stand behind the posts on the reddings road end. Shilly definately scored the try - don't think it was a pushover because if my memory serves me well Shilly picked the ball up from the back of a scrum, sprinted 2 yards and drove over the line taking two or three defenders with him to give us the lead. The conversion - Mike Perry? - was missed. Afterwards Bath camped on the Moseley line but we kept them out. I think Richard Hill ( coach Worcester ) was scrum half for Bath at the time. I also recall Bath spurning penalty after penalty in the final minutes of the game as they tried to score the winning try - but they didn't.

Author: Bailey [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: "Fri, Mar 18 2011, 17:44:58 GMT" Phil, if memory serves (which has been shown to be faulty above) Gareth Chilcott was one of the props for Bath that day. I seem to recall him appearing from the bottom of a pile of bodies in the puddle that was the clubhouse corner and scowling at the ribbing he was receiving from the Moseley faithful...

.............. a record sequence of 22 cup matches unbeaten was ended by Moseley at The Reddings, where Peter Shillingford's early pushover try was enough to put out the holders 4-3. "The previous season they had beaten us by 30 points and obviously thought it would be a cakewalk," said Shillingford, now (in 1996) captain of Worcester. "But they had an off-day and we played to our full potential. We got in their faces, forcing them to make mistakes. I got the early try and they got increasingly frustrated. They used three goalkickers, missed six out of seven penalty kicks and four dropped goals."
