Shipston U17   21   Newbold U17   21

Newbold had to come back from 21-7 down at half time to secure a draw.
After Shipston scored a brilliant early converted try, Dan O’Brien notched one himself from a quick tap penalty, and then converted to level.    Shipston’s backs then outclassed the Newbold defence to scorch in for two more scores, both of which were converted.  A brilliantly gutsy response from the ‘Bold saw them dominate territory only to be frustrated by strong tackling.  Suchy, Thommo and skipper Rob Green featured particularly strongly in this period, leading wave after wave of attacks, a couple of which would resulted in scores if only for a little more composure.  Tries from Sweeno and Suchy, both converted by Danno, eventually secured the well deserved draw.
