TOWCESTRIANS
Match one: Lost 14-0 to Old Scouts
Report: Both sides opened strongly, and Towcester defended well against a strong Old Scouts side, both side's efforts cancelling each other out, so that there were no points on the scoreboard at the interval. At the restart, Towcester's defence leaked a try, which the visitors converted and Scouts had a try attempt held up, but added another converted try towards the end of the game.
Match two: Beat Old Scouts 47-5
Tries: Halcrow, Warr 2, Adams 2, Beasley, Kiddle
Report: Towcester conceded an early try that Old Scouts failed to convert, but that was the only points that the visitors would score in a game that Towcester took by the scruff of the neck. Tows were deserved winners and scored tries through Halcrow, Warr (2), Adams (2), Beasley and Kiddle.

OLD SCOUTS
Lost 26-21 to Towcestrians

Report: Old Scouts had their first competitive match since October 12 with one squad taken for a match that was played in four quarters rather than two halves. Throughout the game, Scouts' forwards showed their strengths both in the scrums and in the line-outs, many of which were won on Tows' put-ins. But Towcester's pressure took its toll with Andrew Hakes being injured in the final quarter and they clinched victory by five points.
LONG BUCKBY
Match one: Lost 25-0 to Bedford
Report: A sluggish start by Buckby, in which they conceded three quick tries, ensured this was always going to be an uphill battle. Eventually their defence came to the fore and all the pack worked hard including Matt Mutton and Dan Burton in the front row. Newcomer Chris Green made his debut and Max Bacon put in an excellent tackling display at full-back.
Match two: Beat ONs 10-5
Report: Despite ONs' sporting approach in fielding a largely second string team nothing should be taken away from the hard work and effort put in by the whole Long Buckby squad. Buckby took the lead through a Ryan Spriggs try but ONs came back well and scored two tries to win the game.
Under 13
CASUALS
Beat Bedford 21-20
Report: A strong first half performance was sufficient to see the Casuals record an impressive victory over Bedford. Daniel Brotherton and Sam Howes scored first-half tries for the Casuals, as did Brett Shambrook whose try formed part of a stunning all round performance. All three tries were converted by Matt Barker, as Casuals' 21-0 half-time lead came under significant pressure in the second half. Four Bedford tries without reply resulted in a nail-biting finish, but Casuals held on.
OLD NORTHAMPTONIANS
Beat Nottingham 81-0
Report: ONs played host to Nottingham on Sunday and although Nottingham put up a spirited defence, a powerful ONs performance won the day. The ONs forwards operated as a cohesive unit providing good ball for the backs and 12 tries were scored over the Nottingham
line. Tries came from Gareth
Clarke (7), Ben Ashby (3) and Josh Clark (2).

Under 14
BBOB
Beat Olney 31-29
Tries: Jamie Cottle, Dan George 3, Oliver James
Cons: Harry James 2, Dan George
Report: BB returned to winning ways with a tense win over Olney. Olney started strongly with tries from Callum Glennie and Jack Wilkes, converted by Adam Wells.

Richard Sturgess responded for Olney but Dan George scored and duly converted to bring the score to 17-14 at the break.

OLD NORTHAMPTONIANS
Lost 18-5 to Nottingham
Try: Matt Mills
Report: ONs were disappointed to lose a game where they enjoyed considerable amounts of possession but generally failed to penetrate the Nottingham back line. An interception try against the run of play gave Nottingham a 7-0 half-time lead. An early response from ONs saw Matt Mills crash over following a penetrating cross-field run from Joe Clarke. Nottingham extended their lead with two penalties and a try in the corner from a short-range penalty. Despite late pressure and three tap penalties near the Nottingham line, ONs failed to add to their score and lost a game they could have won.

Report: Another game and another win for Buckby. However, it was a tough encounter with a fired-up Kibworth side giving the home side a run for their money. Kibworth's tackling was excellent and Buckby had to work hard to find the gaps. All tries came from second or third phase possession with Sam Collyer especially impressive at finding the space.
Under 17
OLD SCOUTS
Beat Old Salteians 30-29

Match two: Beat Oundle 8-1

More tries came from Tim Bott, Jason Brotherton and Joe Davison.
OLD NORTHAMPTONIANS
Match one: Beat Long Buckby 3-1
Tries: Kyran Collins, Ben Hammersley, Kurt Jenkins
Report: ONs fielded a mixed team for the opening match. Continued pressure by the forwards on the Buckby line was rewarded when Kyran Collins was first to react to a loose ball to score.
