Burton AXV welcomed league leaders Luctonians to Peel Croft on a warm Saturday afternoon. With the visitors undefeated all season, Burton were hoping to cause an upset.
The first half was rather one sided with Luctonians capitalising upon Burtons mistakes. Trys from George Abel and Doc made the half time score 31-12 in favour of the visitors.
The second half was much better for the crofters, mistakes were cut out and aggression around the ruck and tackling was better. Two more tries from George Abel, another for the Doc and Josh Lister getting over made the last 10 minutes a close game.
Luctonians did cross twice more to take the victory, a great game of attacking rugby by both teams. Poor tackling let the home team down in the first half, but they rallied hard in the second half.
Final Score:
Burton AXV 34-43 Luctonians 2nds
