First team: Boots 22-5 Ollerton
Ollerton travelled away to Boots in a confident mood having recorded a home win in their
last encounter but came up against a well drilled, organised side.
Ollerton started well, pressurising the Boots defence in the first five minutes but on the
seven minute mark Ollerton conceded a penalty in their own twenty two for not retiring ten
metres. 3-0.
The next twenty minutes saw the game swing the home sides way as they continually
pressurised the Ollerton defence.
Just after the half hour Ollerton had a prop yellow carded for ten minutes and the
pressure being applied by Boots was rewarded by a quickly taken penalty resulting in the
centre going over under the posts, converted. 10-0
This was shortly followed by another try on the thirty seven minute mark with the boots
other centre going through for a fine try, not converted 15-0
The second half continued with Ollerton again under pressure until a sliced Boots
clearance fell to Ollerton’s seasoned winger Eric Cranmer who easily handed off his
opposite number to score a fine individual try, not converted 15-5.
The next thirty minutes saw the game being played in mid field with neither side able to
take the advantage until the final minutes of the game when the Boots centre again broke
free to score under the posts.
