Thurrock 19 v 24 Luton
ANOTHER close encounter a Oakfield again a late try robbing Thurrock of at least a draw in the closing minutes. The game ebbed and flowed with both sides trying to play attacking rugby, saw Thurrock fall behind from a converted try, from a five yard line out the inevitable catch and drive was hard to stop, the conversion was good from wide out.
Jake Barrand got Thurrock on the score sheet with a well struck penalty, before a mistake at the base of the scrum gave the Luton back row the easy task of falling on the ball, again adding the conversion. Barrand again reduced the deficit with a penalty, before Reece Durrance scored a try from a Thurrock catch and drive close to the Luton line to reduce the arrears to 14-11 at the break.
Luton started the second half much the better and scored another try this time unconverted, but Thurrock came straight back with another Barrand penalty before and then another forward try this to James Flavin to level the scores at 19-19. But with 9 minutes to go the Luton scored what was to be the winning try
This week Thurrock travel to Letchworth
