Lutterworth kick off the second half and are soon under pressure from the Nuneaton forwards, Lutterworth clear the danger, but it is Nuneaton who play some good neat passing to give their winger room to score in the corner. Back come Lutterworth and some excellent work from the forwards and backs lead to a scrum ten yards from the Nuneaton line and Sam Huckerby picks up from the back of the scrum and barges his way over, Harry Gregory fails to convert the try from out wide, to leave the score level. Nuneaton then score two tries in quick succession converting the second from in front of the posts to put themselves in a winning position. But Lutterworth are not giving up with out a fight and take the ball Up to the Nuneaton 10 yard line again and again Sam Huckerby picks up from the back of the scrum and barges his way over, Harry Gregory fails to convert the try from out wide. With time running out its all Lutterworth and when beau Green picks up from a ruck and darts over only to be held up it looks like they might not be able to close the points gap, however from the subsequent scrum again Sam Huckerby picks up from the back of the scrum and this time heads infield but is held up just yards from the line but Adam Fisher takes the in side pass to score under the posts Jack Tranter converts to level the scores. From the Nuneaton kick the ref blows the whistle for the end of the game.
