The ‘away leg’ back in September saw a comprehensive result – Stoke 19-43 Oak.
However, since then Stoke picked up form with good wins at Worcester (24-23), at home against Stourbridge (24-13) and a thumping win at Sutton Coldfield (14-53) in October.
They continued this run in November at home against Wolverhampton (34-12) and a very impressive result winning at Bromsgrove 29-37 before an 18-0 home defeat against league leaders Burton.
December saw a narrow win at Camp Hill (14-25) before a big reversal losing heavily at Lutterworth (41-29). However last week they bounced back by beating Melbourne 24-14 at home.
Phil, unfortunately we lost 17-39. Stoke played some good rugby but we made too many handling errors/missed too many tackles to be competitive. We hope to improve this week with a number of players returning.
