Welwyn 4th XV 51 Enfield Ignatians 4th XV 3

This was the season decider with Welwyn 4th still top of Merit Table 3 with one game to play and Old Streetonians in second place with only one more win to go top. The tension was immense from around Tuesday with Rich 'the Man' Fyson weekly phone call to discuss RINGERS! Basically Welwyn needed the win to take Merit Table 3.

From the off the pack leader 'Big' Al Smith was simply told to play eight-man rugby to suck and ..... them, then spin it out to the amazing half-backs, Big (Ben) Haines and Mark (the Boot) Smith who then drew the backs into the game, first phase utilizing the massive center Tiffany 'Farrell' (he's got to be joking.....) Bugden then the silky skills of Chris Smith who looked particularly threatening.

The first half was dominated by Welwyn with nearly all the possession of the ball and most of the game being played in Enfield territory. With Mark Smith using the boot for territory and Richard 'the Legs' Rapley winning the lineout Welwyn looked like they had it in the bag. Comment from the opposition for the first half was “Great Pressure” when Mark Smith using one of his outstanding up and under’s caused there Full Back to Knock on.

Second Half followed much the same with a few more tries from the left wing A Eiduks.

Twenty minutes had passed before Enfield were awarded a penalty due to Neil Hughes continuous infringement which was followed by Neil's comment “I am going Sir” to what we must ask “constant infringement” but with the referee not issuing the card our response was “can we see the card”

Enfield put up more of a fight in the second half forcing Welwyn into their 22 but the fight wasn’t good enough final score 51-3
