Burton produced a spirited fightback against a well organised Burntwood team, who took advantage of a sluggish start by the boys in Black & White. Burntwood started well and after some early pressure, secured a converted try to take the lead. A break away doubled the advantage before Burton managed their first try, going in at the break 14-5 down. Despite some poor handling by Burton, they fought well and scored 2 more unconverted tries to lead 14-15. After this Burntwood put huge pressure on the Burton defence, who had to hold out very well in the last 10 minutes to secure the narrowest of victories..
