The Extras lost their way on and off the pitch on this particular Saturday. Having toured the streets of Peterborough the Extras arrived at their destination 10 minutes after kick off time was scheduled to start. After quickly getting changed and starting the game the Ampthill side never really got going.
Many of the visiting side believed the ref was doing everything he could to sway the game for the home team but there was still very little passion coming from the Extras.
Twenty minutes into the second half Ampthill were 19 – 0 down. Three very soft tries scored by an aged Peterborough team. A consolation try came fo Amthill when Steve Marsden chipped the ball through and chased to touch down.
The Peterborough number 8 was determined to get himself into trouble by constantly flouting the laws. One illegal play too many resulted in him starting a brawl towards the end of the game, a moment in which the Extras finally showed some fight.
