Burntwood 2s 22 Spartans Stags 0

For the second week in a row a late cry off by Stags’ opposition on Friday lunchtime resulted in a hastily re-arranged fixture – this time against Burntwood second string.

In a game where the visitors struggled to find their feet, Burntwood dominated the majority of the afternoon and ended up as clear, and deserved, winners.

Playing down the hill in the first period, Spartans were put under pressure by a well drilled Burntwood side, and poor defensive play allowed the home side centre through for a converted try. The Stags failed to gain any momentum in their play in a disappointing afternoon for them, and the second half resulted in 3 further unanswered tries for Burntwood.”
