Jamie is the King for Towcestrians
Published Date:

A new-look Towcestrians side, fielding three new players, secured a crucial 12-10 league win at Leicester Forest.
Tows got off to the ideal start when, after dominating the opening period, they scored the opening try through flanker Joe Threlfall.
Forest hit back with a penalty to make the score 5-3, but Tows looked in good shape at half-time as they led 12-3, Jamie King converting after Matt Bodily scored a cracking try under the posts.
Tows played into the wind and up the slope in the second half and knew it was going to be a tough 40 minutes.
Their task was made even harder when Leicester quickly scored a converted try to make it 12-10, and their tails were up.
But Tows, who by the end of the game had four colts players in the side, showed tremendous resilience to hold out for the win.
This Saturday Tows entertain league leaders Old Northamptonians at Greens Norton Road (ko 3pm).
