Upper Clapton 7 Bishops Stortford 5

Our Friday-night Lights fixtures began against a large, physical Upper Clapton side. The side from Epping opened the scoring when Stortford failed to deal with a kick over the top, and under pressure we conceded under the posts. They converted a simple conversion from straight in front. Stortford then woke up and began to play sharp attacking rugby, moving the ball quickly through out backs with Tom F and Fabian combining well, and Freddie producing some powerful runs from number 8 we built pressure. We finally cross the line in the final minute when Al M broke and eventually crossed the line. Fabian made a brilliant attempt at the conversion from the touchline but it unfortunately drifted wide of the near post and the match ended in a tight defeat.
