Market Bosworth 35 Burton 20 on   Nov 4th 2007

Burton started well, against a bigger Bosworth side, with some good passing and support play which allowed M Shenton to score the 1st try, this was immediately followed by a try from M Pride, which saw him show an amazing change of direction to wrong foot the Bosworth defence. Bosworth's attack then came to life and, after some hard defensive work, started to control the game.

Two tries levelled the match, only for M Pride to go on one of his elusive runs to score. A try either side of 1/2 time saw Bosworth take the lead, Only for M Pride to latch onto the end of a good team to score a well deserved hat-trick. However the larger, more physical attacks of Bosworth saw them score 3 late tries to steal the victory in an evenly fought match.

C Hutchison, in only his third match, led the way in defence with his determined running and never give up attitude. This seemed to lift the Crofters in defence, forcing plenty of turn overs. Burtons attack also stepped up a gear and they showed what they can do with the ball. Good running and support play saw Burton dominate, With T Smith popping up all over the place, he scored burtons first and second tries. For all his hard work in defence, and good support play, C Hutchison got a try. Two tries from Bosworth saw them come back into the match, only for more good attacking work allowing M Pride to go over the try line, followed quickly by N Collette. Another two tries saw Bosworth get close again, only for Burtons defence to tighten up and give the hosts no where to go. Burton managed to close the game with further tries for T Smith and N Collet
