Mixed emotions for Moseley as they edge closer to safety Edwards, who was a pioneering commercial manager when Moseley were one of the powerhouses of English rugby in the 1980s, lost his eight-month battle with cancer in the early hours of yesterday. He was one of the first commercial fund-raisers in English rugby. On the pitch, lock David Lyons, centre Greg King and hooker Adam Caves had scored tries to help improve Moseley's survival prospects in the relegation play-off group. Bristol, who topped the table at the end of the regular league season, moved closer to the promotion semi-finals with a 24-19 victory over Nottingham at Meadow Lane on Sunday courtesy of first-half tries from Tonga international Will Helu and his Samoa centre partner Fautua Otto. Two tries from wing Grant Pointer kept Cornish Pirates, last season's beaten finalists, on course for the semi-finals with a 25-17 win over Rotherham at the Mennaye Field. Leeds saw their hopes of an immediate return to the Premiership disappear with a 24-24 draw against Bedford at Headingley, where Jake Sharp's late penalty kept the winners on course for a place in the semi-finals. London Welsh required late tries from wing Nick Scott and centre Hudson Tonga'uiha to secure a 34-24 win against Doncaster at Old Deer Park on Saturday. Doncaster outscored their hosts four tries to three with right wing Doug Flockhart crossing twice, but full-back Alex Davies kept the Exiles on course for victory by kicking 19 points, including five penalties.
