Group A 2nd match.

                       Game played at 2 30 pm Saturday 12th November.  Oundle versus Cotterstock.

                       Oundle won the toss, so elected to kick off.
  The game started off really tight with neither team conceding anything.

An early line out looked promising for Cotterstock, but they were unable to break through Oundle's solid defence. The game continued with little give from either side, both sides put in spirited runs but were unable to finish favourably. With a minute to go of the first half, Oundle broke away from a scrum on the 20 metre line to score right under the posts, making a nice easy conversion.
                                             The second half got under way with a strong attack from Cotterstock, but again they were unable to finish and a clumsy knock on in their own half saw Oundle take the advantage and score another try just to the left of the posts, which gave them another easy conversion.
             Cotterstock attacked with vigour several times but were always unable to get through the defensive wall. I the last minutes of the game Cotterstock were awarded a penalty virtually in front of the posts, which they easily slotted over, time unfortunately had beaten them although their attacking in the second half was very promising!

                                 Final score :  Oundle  14     Cotterstock  3.

                                       Oundle will now play Fotheringhay in the last of the games of group A next week.
