Fotheringhay and Glapthorn on the pitch awaiting result of toss to see who starts the game.
Glapthorn won the toss, so kicked off and started with a good run forward but were unable to get through the defence. Fotheringhay followed up a long kick, and an over enthusiastic charge by Glapthorn gave them a relatively easy penalty.
The penalty was a long one, but went over giving Fotheringhay the lead just 2 minutes into the game.
After this the game got very tight with both sides making good runs but not managing to finish, then 12 minutes in Glapthorn were awarded a penalty for off-side, which they scored with.
Apart from some rather dangerous looking scrums, nothing appeared to be happening either way, until with just a minute of the first half left,Glapthorn went over for a try which they promptly converted.
Half time score: Fotheringhay 3 Glapthorn 10.
The second half was a very cagey affair with neither side making any real headway, there had not been a single line-out in the first half and it was about middle of the second half before a line-out was conceded.
This line-out went Fotheringhay's way and from this they were able to clear their line, the resulting run up field saw them awarded another penalty, this time right in front of the posts, which they easily put over. Despite some very spirited attacks, Fotheringhay were unable to put any more points on the board and similarly Glapthorn were unable to increase their lead. Glapthorn came out the winners with a credible 10 points.
Ecstatic supporter streaks onto the pitch to the amazement of the players!!
Final score: Fotheringhay 6 Glapthorn 10.
