Saturday was the first home game of the season for Towcestrians as they welcomed newly promoted Grove to Greens Norton Road. A reunion took place before the game as former Saints star, Mike Greenhalgh started his rugby with the side from Wantage and finis
Within the first four minutes the two teams were level through two penalties, Falvey for Towcester and Grove’s Sevier both slotting their kicks.
It took a further twenty minutes for Tows to then decipher Grove’s defence. Scrum half Gus Hopewell breaking blind to cleverly find Falvey who bustled his way over the line wide out, he then added the conversion from the touch line.
The two tens continued their battle as the exchanged further penalties for Tows to be leading 13-6 at the break.
In an onerous second half Tows failed to capitalize on some great opportunities that they had created to leave the game in the balance, both defences were cancelling each other out.
A Falvey penalty created a bit of leeway between the sides as Tows looked to put a marker on the game. Finally the pressure paid off, a hard run from Martyn Harvey caused the defence to fragment and let him cross the line. Another conversion tipped off an absolute kicking display from Falvey.
Next week Tows travel to Maiden Head.
