Stowmarket made probably their best start to any game this season as they dominated the early stages of the match against fifth placed Thetford, and took a well-deserved lead through hat-trick scoring captain Joe Fifield converted by full-back Dan Garrard. They continued to dominate play and from a 5 metre lineout forced the visitors to play the ball all the way across the backline before a long kick and chase saw them eventually touchdown under the posts to surprisingly tie up the game. Despite continuing to have the bulk of play the home side struggled to exploit their advantage until centre Joe Lancaster made and individual break for the home side to turnaround at half time with a narrow 12-7 lead.

A slightly nervous crowd saw Stowmarket then start play against the conditions, and wondered what was in store. They and the players however had the pressure eased as Joe Fifield and prop Jack Haward both went over to extend the lead further, however Thetford again came back to score perhaps the try of the game as a well worked move saw them dot down under the posts. With twenty minutes to go Stowmarket realised that the next score would be very decisive in the outcome of the game, and with their superior fitness took the game completely away from the visitors as back row Alex Lancaster, skipper Joe Fifield, twice, and finally centre Stu Hill all crossing the line to secure a very comfortable victory.

This now leaves one game to complete the season, and with Stowmarket only topping the table by virtue of having lost less games than rivals Southwold, they now have a difficult away trip to fourth placed Holt next weekend.
