Nene Valley Cup Final.

                              Final match for the cup between Glapthorn and Fotheringhay, Glapthorn having just kicked off.
                            Early penalty for Glapthorn bad clearance giving off side. Glapthorn open scoring with 3 points.
                                       Yet another bad mistake by Fotheringhay gives Glapthorn another penalty.
                                     Fotheringhay's first try just before half time, the conversion attempt went wide giving a half time score of Glapthorn 6  Fotheringhay 5.
                                              A good start for Fotheringhay in the second half, with this try right under the posts and a successful conversion.
                  Mistake this time by Glapthorn gave Fotheringhay this easy penalty.
                                     Bad clearance by Fotheringhay opened the door again for Glapthorn with this easy penalty.
                        With 5 minutes to go, this penalty was awarded to Fotheringhay for off side, allowing them to stretch their lead.  The last minutes of the match were all Glapthorn, but they were unable to break through the defence and final whistle saw Fotheringhay lifting the cup.
                       Elated supporter streaks onto the pitch, despite the efforts of the arm of the law!!!!


                                      Final score :    Fotheringhay  15   Glapthorn  9.
