#20 Navy has continued its spring break tour of the United Kingdom with a 23-15 win against Welsh club side Aberystwyth Wednesday.

It was the Midshipmen’s second game on tour.

Try-scorers included JJ Stewart, Aaron Franz and Thanassi Varvoutis. Sean Rhors added a conversion and a penalty goal to round out the scoring.

Navy played a much better game than they did against London Irish at the weekend having had some extra time to get acclimated.

"We played much better and the rest and recovery helped us to perform,” Navy head coach Mike Flanagan told ARN. “I was pleased with both our scrummage and midfield defense.”

The Middies are due to wrap up their short tour with a match against the Welsh Regiment in Cardiff.
