Benjamin's hat-trick was his first in senior rugby

Miles Benjamin scored a hat-trick as Worcester came from behind to beat Plymouth Albion at Brickfields.

After Albion took an early lead through a converted Alex Davies try, Worcester responded with two tries from winger Miles Benjamin.

Two penalties from Davies then ensured Plymouth went in 13-12 up at the break.

Richard Hill's side rallied in the second period, as Benjamin's third try and three Andy Goode penalties ensured they came away with the spoils.

After losing 51-3 at Bedford in their opening game last weekend, Albion produced a much improved performance, making the game difficult for promotion favourites Worcester.

Davies was unflappable with the boot, kicking four penalties for Plymouth as they threatened to derail Hill's side.

The introduction of former England fly-half Goode in the second-period settled Worcester's nerves, as he slotted home three penalties to move the match out of Albion's reach.
