Most of the first half was spent defending their own lie as a barrage of Grove attackers failed to penetrate the Tows wall.

The home side passed on a few kickable penalties but failed to produce the finishing needed to turn their possession into points.
Just before half time Tows found themselves in the oppositions half for the first time in the game.

A strong break from captain Liam Wilkinson produced a five metre penalty for his team from which young second row Kieran Frost drove over for the first points of the game, James Falvey added the conversion for an unlikely turn round of 0 – 7.

Tows’ second half did not start off well as they gained the first yellow of the match for Grove to slot the penalty and get on the score board at last.
Falvey replied with a well taken long range conversion, only for the game to become disjointed as a total of six yellow cards were given out.

The home side’s game plan of crashing there big men into the midfield was becoming more and more readable as they began to run out of ideas. It was Tows backs turn to come into the game, as fly half Ben Roe finished in the corner, followed by a quickly taken penalty by Craig Holton, Falvey added the extras.

Tows efforts to claim the bonus point were foiled by the covering tackle from the right wing.
