The next round got under way with Oundle playing Warmington.
Warmington having won the toss, about to kick off.
A very tight game to begin with, both sides being extremely careful not to give anything away with nervous mistakes. Scoring opportunities did not present themselves until out of desperation Oundle attempted a drop goal to put some points on the board.
This attempt was successful, and was the only score in the first half despite some very good runs from both sides. Defence was so tight that neither side could break through for the much needed try.
Half time score: Oundle 3 Warmington 0.
The second half was virtually a carbon copy of the first until this run in from a scrum giving Warmington a try under the posts which was easily converted. Oundle replied with several good attacks, but were unable to penetrate the Warmington defence. A penalty almost on the half way line was missed by Oundle, and similarly a penalty attempt by Warmington went just wide.
Oundle managed a good bout of possession at the end of the match and this drop goal 1 minute into injury time went over, saving some face on the game.
Final score: Oundle 6 Warmington 7.
