The Pi; The Club drew first blood when Murray went off to a run to score after a three-quarter movement had given him the opportunity to get away, and Macrae converted with the kick. Play went to the other end where the Area Details went through a threes movement, but good tackling by Mills stopped them. Murray scored the second after another movement and Macrae failed to add extra points with the kick. Towards the end of the half, Read scored the third try which was also unconverted.
The second half opened very evenly, but the Club took up the pressure and were close on the loser's line for some time, albeit not scoring. A breakaway by the Area Details forwards saw leading a forward rush, and Sharp eventually fell on the ball as it crossed the line, giving the losers their only try which Hamlin just failed to convert with a good kick.
The Club replied with their last try. when Read sold the dummy and swerved through to score under the posts, Macrae failing to convert. Towards the end of the match, the Club pressed and were close to their opponent's goal-line, but repeated kicks to touch prevented further scoring.
