The Thurrock pack were soon demonstrating their power and managed to take several balls against the head via hooker Lionel Hayward. This of course put Ilford under considerable pressure. A line in the Ilford 22 was pressured, they scrambled it back, and kicked out, the ball was fielded by full back Micky Simmons, who fed to flanker Rees Collins, who fed to Elliott Keefe, to winger Blane Daly, who showed a pretty set of heels to his wing, who fed back inside to Keefe, who duly went over wide out.
