After Huntingdon the focus was decision making, discipline and playing as a team.

The game plan was made simple, 10 man rugby. It's a bit strange to say this to a team that loves throwing the ball about, but with only two regular first team backs we didn't want the boys stepping in to feel pressurized.

Right from the kick off the team stuck to the game plan and were rewarded with a push over try from Screwy Driver. From there the lads kept plugging away with mistake free rugby. John Roux added a penalty and drop goal to extend the lead.

Ten minutes left to go in the first half and Forest tried to force the issue instead of plugging away, resulting in giving away ten penalties in a row! This gave Daventry a sniff. Lucky for Forest Daventry didn't score and Roux slotted another penalty to make it 16 nil.

Half time bought the first substitute with Screwy being replaced by Ben Davis; who has returned to the team after the summer holidays. This was good for the team as he scored three tries with the credit for two going to the tight five with two more push over scrums.

Twenty minutes to go and Daventry finally got some ball and tried to use their backs, but the inside back combination of Roux, Tony Holland and Stu Clark stood strong. Added assistance from wingers Glynn Johnson and Jake Grimsdale complimented this.

Daventry did manage to score a good team try but were quickly answered with another Davies try.

All in all a good day at the office. The team played as a team and team moral is high, but we know we have a tough trip to bugbrooke this week.

Congratulations to young front rower Liam Warren for his first, First Team debut.
