EGHAM HOLLOWEGIANS 5- 12 Woking

Both teams met on a sunny Saturday afternoon on which many an English and French man will remember for a long time, but before that we had a cracker of a game at home against Woking who I may add are a league above us.

Right from the start both teams where hard at it and it was Woking who took an early lead through some poor tackling from us, with the conversion they took a lead of 7 points which lasted to nearly the end of the first half.

To our credit we did not let our heads go down in fact we started to play some great rugby bearing in mind that this was a scratch team made up that morning we found our selfs encamped in the Woking 22 for the last 10 or so minutes of the half, with some great forward play we got to within 5 meters of the try line after some battering away Woking conceded a penalty a quick tap and go and a pass resulted in Sam walker diving over to bring it back to 7 5 James Cope could not convert the kick so at half time it was looking a lot better for Egham.

The second half seen Woking come storming back in to the game and would have stretched their lead several times if it where not for some try saving tackles from Martin Hayne and Jonny Holloway both stoping and turning over ball right on the try line, but the pressure was taking its toll and after a couple of hard scrum ages on our own 5 meter line Woking went over with only a minute to go failing to convert brought the score to12 5 but we where not finished yet we had to win the restart which we did and keep the ball alive to stand a chance of getting a try from in side our own half jonny Holloway took the ball from the bottom of the ruck and made a mazy run cutting through the Woking team right into there 22 with one player to beat it looked if we where going to do the impossible and score a try but it was not to be Jonny being tackled to the ground and the supporting players knocking on the ball brought what was a cracking game to a end.
