A big cheer to you for beating Vandals.
Conditions could have made for a miserable match, but we ended up with a close fought high class game.

Tries to Dom Hunt, Aidan McCarthy and Ben Harrison, with 3 conversions to Evan Newton.

The ref judged the first kick had gone through the posts and been blown back, so the score stands @ 21-12.

Excellent defence from all the backs into the wind in the first half, great ball stealing by Dom and Tom C, big tackles by Andy, Tom B, Jay and Mike kept the scores close in the first half. For a while it looked like we were going to run in a hatful in the second half but a 15 minute section of panicked and dropped passes kept Vandals in it until the last 10 minutes.
But then the backs got a turnover ball, ran it to give us some territory and Aidan broke through to score under the posts.

Many thanks to those playing out of position (Mike Donne may have made a name for himself as a line out jumper)
