Welwyn scorers: Keir (4T), Alfie (1T), Alfie (5C)
Playing back to back matches, game two was a much better game as the Fullers side were looking to take advantage of the weary Welwyn legs. In the early stages, both teams made uncharacteristic handling errors and despite some good possession we did not use our backline with any real authority. However after 7 minutes Keir finally broke the deadlock and Alfie duly converted to give us a 7 nil lead. Both teams battled hard and the game was still in the balance whilst Welwyn were only 1 try up although the majority of the half was played nearer to the oppositions line than our own. The second half was a different story however as whatever the coaches said at the break seemed to inspire the boys to a marked improvement in their play and handling. In the end we ran away (well Keir did!) with proceedings as 4 more tries were added between Keir (3) and returning skipper Alfie. The later running half the length of the field (even the coaches looked out of puff watching!) after using the blindside to good effect. Alfie regained sufficient breathe to keep up his 100% conversion rate and give us the win. Final Score Welwyn 35 Fullerians 0
