With Dorchester arriving with 7 players we were able to lend them 4 and ensure a competitive friendly.

The league points were ours as 12 a side is needed for a league match to count. However all the players were determined to get a competitive run out.
So Harry Hitchings, Dan Brown, Mark Hammond & Philip Collier donned to green and white hoops to even up the sides.

There then followed 60 minutes of full on action. We finished the first half 24 - 17 ahead, but the second 30 saw a reversal of fortunes with Dorchester running out 31 - 51 winners.

Man of the Match: Tom Smith

Scorers:-

Dorchester
