Match Report:

The first team game was a much tighter contest possibly due to the wet conditions. we took an early lead through two Stuart Pearham penalties, however Howick fought back with a penalty of their own before half time. The first XV began the second half strong after having a try disallowed due to a debaitable forward pass. Towards the end Pearham converted another penalty to secure a 3-9 victory.
