Saturday's Match.

  The knockout continues with Glapthorn taking on Warmington.
                       Glapthorn started proceedings with this very useful kick-off that just found touch.
    The resulting line-out was neatly won and cleared by Warmington and they started to pile on the pressure with some very good runs.
    This scrum from a knock-on although won by Glapthorn, resulted in an off-side, giving Warmington a penalty which they put over to open the scoring.
           Glapthorn again managed to kick into touch for a line-out deep in their opponents half, but the resulting clearance kick and follow resulted in a try for Warmington.
                           The try was a good one, but the conversion attempt went wide.
                             Glapthorn won a scrum for a knock-on  deep in Warmington's territory and from this were able to run in a very good try which they easily converted.
     This was followed by another good run and in the last minutes of the first half, Glapthorn scored again right under the posts, giving them another easy conversion.
              The second half started with Warmington being awarded a penalty for off-side, unfortunately the kick went wide of the left hand post.
                    Game play became very tight after this with neither side taking any real chances, until a bad clearance attempt by Warmington gave Glapthorn a penalty right in front of the posts, which they easily put over. With 5 minutes left to play, a bad mistake by Glapthorn gave Warmington a penalty, which this time they did score with.
                    Despite a good bout of possession by Warmington in the dying minutes, there was no more score to be had and the game ended with a surprise win for Glapthorn.


       Final result:  Glapthorn 2 tries and conversions plus a penalty =  17 points.

                        Warmington  2 penalties and a try =  11 points.
