In an evenly contested match Stortford grabbed the first unconverted try. This was closely followed by Royston's reply, Steve Graham powering over after good rucking by Royston, Ben Ireland then added the conversion. Royston's pack started to dominate with front row James Reeder, Callum Waring and Cameron Bonfield to the fore. Flanker Max Oliver and Second row forward of the match Tyler Boyne enjoyed their best games of the season. Royston scored their second try after an outstanding catch and run by full back John Busher who offloaded to back of the match Chris Chivanganye to score in the corner on his debut. At 12 - 5 at half time the game could have gone either way but with the rain still teeming down neither side could add to the score. Royston defended heroically in the last ten minutes to halt a late Stortford onslaught. An excellent match played in difficult conditions well refereed by Andrew Boardman.
