Ashbourne 11 Casuals 11

1 try and 2 penalties apiece brings stalemate to a game either side could have won, if either side had taken their opportunities, but it was a fair result in the end.

Higgins 2 penalties and a Ben Wells opportunist try, with Simon Hellaby weighing in with a penalty and a try for Ashbourne (you can't keep him out the limelight even at his age. (44 the coach tells me,still younger than Hobson)

Both sides misfired at times with missed tackles galore, and ground conceded at crucial times, which made it all the more interesting.
And of course it was the refs fault cos he dropped the ball and passed it forward when the try line was a begging.
