Matt Yuill grabbed the first try as he broke through to touch down under the posts, then a lucky bounce saw Adam Wilkinson score wide out. Buckingham then began to wake up, throwing there forwards at the Towcester defence. The constant barrage lead to a piece of ill-discipline which resulted in the yellow carding of Sam Sterley depleting the home side. This did not dampen there spirits however as Marc Yeates broke away to score, he then turned provider as he shipped he ball on to Craig Holton to score. The ½ finished with another try this time at close quarters from Liam Wilkinson. Falvey in magnificent form converted all five of Tows tries in the first half. After the break Tows discipline dropped for the second time, Yuon Skelton being sent to the bin provoked a Buckingham attack that was finished off by a try from the scrum. The Tows backs were looking dangerous still as the game progressed. Falvey and Adam Wilkinson scored the next two to take the game completely out of reach. Buckingham refused to lie down however as a quickly taken penalty was scored by James Finard. As the game drew to a close David Devlin Jones who had looked threatening throughout the game scored Tows 8th of the afternoon. Bucking finished the game strongly with a constellation try.
