3rd Team Match Report

Saturday 24th January 2004

Northampton Mens Own  3rd XV  8pts  v Lutterworth 3rd XV  8pts

In a closely fought game Lutts started strongly and took the lead through an Ian Smith penalty. They then defended hard for the rest of the half against a much heavier pack and restricted Mens Own to a single try for a half-time score of 3-5.

Mens Own soon extended their lead to 8-3 but Lutterworth finished the stronger and deservedly equalised through a try by Chris Charlesworth, unfortunately Ian Smith’s conversion attempt to win the game just missed the corner flag.
