Ampthill Extras 20 – Leighton Buzzard 3rds 24
The Extras were constantly playing catch up in their home encounter with Leighton Buzzard. After tit for tat penalties the Extras were soon ten seven down when Leighton scored. The Extras drew level after a run of play seeing Peter Cowell link well with the backs to put Rob Mcleod a try.
In a fairly even game Leighton kept scoring with Ampthill then catching them up. Things were looking good for Ampthill until Leighton scored a try towards the end of the game. A quick penalty from Phil Stanton saw the ball go through Liam Duffin hands straight to fly-half Mcgregor who scored Ampthill’s second try.
The Extras trailed by four points as the seconds ticked away. In the last play of the game from a scrum in their own half, the ball was passed wide to Paul Ratcliffe who was stopped just short of the try line. The referee then blew for full time, the day wasn’t to be the Extras’.
