In game 1 we were up against the hosts Hertford. Matches between us and Hertford are always very competitive and have even been County Finals in the past. This game was to prove no different and was also played out at a very fast pace.
With both sides preferring to use their backs to gain ground it was a very entertaining affair whilst neither side came close to scoring until the last play of the half saw us take the lead. Having been awarded a penalty (our only one of the game!) around 10 metres from the line, we executed a well drilled set piece that led to Keir cutting through his opposite centres territory to score past the last ditch Hertford defence.
The second half was equally as quick and with both sides cancelling each other out with well timed tackles, most of the play was in the middle of the park. Alfie kicked very intelligently in this half, giving us territorial advantage on each occasion. Hertford never really broke into our half and it was Johann who came closest to scoring before a great last ditch tackle thwarted his explosion towards the Hertford line.
