Oak 6th..........5 points behind 2nd placed Burton.
I think (?) one automatic and 2nd place goes in to play off (I know - v early to think about that - but a good run of form after 2 tricky away games to start!) LLWWW

Sorry not been on the site for a few days, the game was away today as Oak will play all (weather permitting) their games on the main pitch so a number of them have been changed so we don't clash with the 1st team.

Oak went down to a narrow defeat today 28-23. having the best of the first 20 minutes Oak went in to a 14-0 lead. The game was a very fast one and flowed end to end and quickly became 14-7, 17-7 and 17-14 at half time. Ollie Thomas then scored a drop goal from close to the half way line followed by a penalty to take the score to 23-17 in Oak's favour. But the game was being played at a high rate and wolves came back to put pressure on which resulted in a yellow card for Oak and as the pressure increased Wolves scored to bring the game back to 23-21, with a couple of minutes of the bin left, wolves went ahead for the first time 28-23 but Oak came back and put pressure on the home defence and thought they had scored only for the ref to disallow the try judging the back player had not picked the ball up but the player in front, this to go along with another try disallowed in the first half by Paul Cox as the ref could not see clearly who had touched the ball first in the chase to the ball. With a young squad, Oak came away with a bonus point and a lot of credit for their performance.
