Final game of group A between Fotheringhay and Oundle, Fotheringhay having won the toss, the picture shows the position immediately after kick off. The first half was dominated by Fotheringhay, with all the best runs and tactical kicks going their way and eventually a try was scored in the right hand corner but the conversion attempt went wide.
Towards the end of the first half, a bad charge down by Oundle gave Fotheringhay a penalty virtually in front of the posts, which they easily slotted over. Half time therefore saw Fotheringhay in the lead 8 points to 0!! This was definitely a shock result given previous form, but that's rugby!!
The second half started with a more determined attack by Oundle, although good defending was
keeping them from scoring until a good worked set piece saw Oundle go over for a try which they also Converted. Play became progressively tighter with neither side giving anything away, but a scrum in the last 5 minutes of the game resulted in a penalty to Fotheringhay which they easily put over.
The remaining minutes ticked away without any more score, giving a surprise win to Fotheringhay!!
Final score: Fotheringhay 11 Oundle 7.
