For the first 15 minutes, this was a very evenly matched contest as the 0 - 0 scoreline reflected. Both teams successfully cancelling each other out until Ealing put their first points on the board late in the first half.
As the weather closed in - strong winds and heavy rain - the mistakes crept in as fumbles were made and tackles missed. However, to a man, the team stuck at it and on occasions played some good rugby.
At this point the paper became too soggy and the risk of iPhone water damage was so great that I had to stop note taking!
The warmth of the bar beckoned and we duly obliged at the final whistle
