Match 1 - Walsall 1 - Wolverhampton 0

The scoreline does not look pretty but this was a throroughly absorbing and entertaining game. Both teams played with passion, commitment and skill.

It was real end to end stuff and the 0 - 0 halftime score belied a half of strong running, excellent defence and good distribution.

Wolverhampton came straight back and some last gasp tackles from Walsall prevented a score.

Everyone applauded at the final whistle, and rightly so. Both Wolverhampton and Walsall had played some fine rugby and were a credit to their respective clubs.
