SUNDAY 1st October  2006

Burton  31pts  V  Lutterworth  5pts

Lutterworth kicked off against a very strong wind and soon Burton were putting them under pressure getting good ball out to their backs with good forward play to retain possesion.  It was from an overlap on the right flank that led to their opening try in the corner. With the very strong wind against them Lutterworth were finding it very hard to clear from their own half and 3 further Burton tries in the first half gave the home side a comfortably 31-0 half time lead.

Burton kicked off the second half now playing into an even stronger wind (soon to include rain as well) and now it was Lutterworths turn to put the pressure onto Burton who were now finding it difficult to clear the ball and darting breaks by Sam Huckerby and Sam Weatherall lead to scrumhalf Beau Green diving over in the corner for Lutterworths first try. Uldis Krievs missed the conversion from wide.

Further breaks by Leo Sollit, Chris Gutteridge and Simon Sandercock were kept out by some determined Burton defence and when the rain came handling was made extrememly difficult and despite playing the majority of the second half in the Burton half of the pitch Lutterworth could not manage any further tries and Burton ran out comfortable winners
