A minute’s silence was held before the start of the game in memory of Simon Bott who was involved in a Fatal Raod Traffic Accident the previous day
A large squad arrived, both in numbers and stature plus a good number of supporters.
The opening minutes were hectic with Quorn threatening our line from the off, until Anstey winger Asher Smith broke away running most of the length of the pitch (uphill) and literally 10cm from the Quorn line got tacked into touch.
Pressure continued during the first half from Quorn after Anstey scored an unconverted try and our almost 7ft tall second rower Tom Westley got sin binned for a high tackle.
During that period Quorn finally got over the line making the half time score 7-5 to Quorn.
A reinvigorated Anstey came out with purpose in the second half ,scoring several tries by amongst others, Jack Smith, Matt Belcher and Andrew Pollock.
Adding the two points for conversions was not something until the job was handed over to Dominic Bott who converted the last two tries.
Thank you Dom!
