Hard graft by all earns first win.

Paviors started with a flourish and were testing Scouts defence straight from the start. The home side held out for fifteen minutes but were eventually beaten by a well worked try which was duly converted and with a penalty soon after Paviors took a ten point lead.
With the elements against Scouts they were having to defend rigorously and a rare journey into their opponents territory forced turnover ball and Jordan Judd crossed the whitewash to reduce the arrears.
The visitors still maintained their attacking threat and although they were being well marshalled by Scouts determined defence crept in for a seven pointer just before the break.
Scouts had been undone by three tries in fifteen minutes after the break the previous week but this time it was their turn and they completed the 21 points in ten minutes.
The first resulted from a Matt Brown break which saw Luke Reeves touch down and within minutes Dean Lake was put into space to cross in the corner. Brown was involved again for the third and a mesmerising run from the scrum half led to replacement Bobby Bland scoring. Adam Frost converted all three to put Scouts 26 – 17 up.
Bland took a team yellow card soon after and with Scouts one man short Paviors reduced the arrears to a single score and set the game up for an exciting finish.
Scouts were in buoyant mood at this point and sealed the win when Liam Hancock beat several covering defenders to race in from half way and two penalties from Frost sealed victory and a well-deserved five points.
