Oak went to Wolverhampton expecting a tough game and it quickly came evident that's what they were going to be up against in front of the home teams sponsor special day, a large crowd was there to watch a closely fought and sometimes feisty game played out between two side having a good season. Wolves started strongly and had the better of the first ten minutes but with practically their first really attack, Oak took the lead, sorry can't remember the scorer of the try but it was converted to give Oak a 7-0 lead. Wolves game plan was to run the ball at every opportunity rather then kick for touch, probably accepting Oak would be superior at the line out from the first game in the league. As Wolves pressed forward put the pressure on Neil Mason was adjudge to have rolled into the ruck and was shown a yellow card the resulted penalty being converted in front of the posts 3-7. Oak though were determined not to concede any more and held firm then at the end of the 10 minutes Oak broke away from turn over ball and the speed and passing and support worked space out wide for Jack Richards to go over in the corner. Wolves continued they high intensity approach running everything and score next with a 7 pointer taking the score to 10-12. But shortly afterwards Oak were awarded a penalty which was scored by James Hussey 10-15. The game flowed from end to end and Oak worked a 3-1 overlap but as the door opened up the ref's whistle went to everyone's surprise to adjudge a forward pass when on try was a metre away and no defence in place.
Very gritty performance against a Wolves team hoping to win the Midlands Intermediate Cup final against Stourbridge and then one game away from Twickenham.

So Oak are nearly there now needing just a single point to confirm winning the league, but there is an objective to go all the way, so no let up.

A big thank you to all those who travelled to Wolverhampton to support us yesterday, we're pleased we made your trip worthwhile. Next game Old Salts away 2nd April KO 3.00pm. The Stourbridge fixture is on Wednesday 13th KO 7.45pm

Yes enjoyable visit to Wolves and what with banqueting in the luxury marquee, 6 Nations and a Real Ale festival and a dry but coldish day a perfect occasion. Oh! and MO winning yet again!

I enjoyed the game - Wolves had a determination to stay in touch with the top of the table but the experience of some we know - Ollie and Neil - and forwards ensured we snuffed out the fast moving threat of Wolves attack. At one stage we were down to 13 (sounds familiar!) and Ollie had to be injury replaced while Neil had a nasty gash on his head to show for his efforts. They'll all be after MO now in the remaining matches to wend their fabulous run but we all know they will be on their guard and ready to lift their game should it be necessary. Now its a little matter of Cornish Pirates for 4 points Knights for 1 Brizzl nil and L Scottish 4! - while MO stay unbeaten to the end. As I said MO away to Old Saltelians 2.4.16 (Saturday) the day after we get one or 4 points out of Knights- be worth a visit me thinks.
