Basildon 2nd XV 14 Chelmsford 3rd XV 18

The 3rd XV travelled to top of the table Basildon knowing that an away win would put the cat amongst the pigeons and a jump over the league leaders in Merit Table Division 4 East.

A combination of youth and experience, ably lead by captain Moore, saw the boys edge a narrow victory in a cracking game. Above is a picture of the Anglia Ruskin University lads who all had superb performances in the backs. Man of the match Gerard Griffin, Finn Chisholm and James Rayfield are from left to right.

Backs - Gerard Griffin, David Cramphorn, Andy Cartwright, Danny O'Flynn, Mike Dawson, Joe Styrin, Finn Chisholm, Curtis Dalton, Jonathon Cubitt and Callum McDonald.
